Not sure about G scale, but decoders for smaller scales are rated for total current. An N scale decoder with 6 functions rated at 500 ma does NOT mean that 3...
Allen: As Doug pointed out there are two limits on the accessory output. current for each single connection and the total. Typical decoders rate each output...
Looking for any ideas the list might have to help me with programing decoders. I recently installed a DZ125IN in a MiniTrix V60 (German engine). This is a...
Mike, Thanks for taking the time to answer. I think the intent has been lost in the translation somewhat. I have the PR3 and can it do EVERYTHING the...
Must have been asleep when I typed that last response :-( You can connect the function wires but it won't double the current available. Decoder function...
Hi I have experienced this with my set up (lens set 01/LH100/decoderpro), check so thet the decoder has good contact, this will mostly be enough. But,...
Hi -- I recently took my DCS100 to a large modular set-up. Upon returning home, I discovered that somebody had inadvertently taken the plug-in screw terminal...
My friend who designs decoders has told me that you can join outputs, and this does double the current, but, as Jim states below, subject to the total output...
G'day all I am currently working on a HO railcar that uses a 4 volt coreless motor with a current draw of 700mA which I want to control with DCC ( of course )....
Hi. In my Big Boy I added a second decoder and connected the motor output to the smoke unit. So the smoke unit increases with the speed of the engine. The...
Adrian: I don't think it's going to easy or even perhaps possible. Let's see what options are open, but first a little DCC... Motors are controlled through a...
Tom, If you are programming on the programming track, make sure you are in Page mode (Pg) or direct mode (Pd). I've made the mistake a few times after using...
Along the same line of inquiry has anyone put a sound decoder in one of the new Atlas HH660's. Mine just arrived and would love to have sound in it. Thanks...
i for one really appreciate the requests and replies for information about what decoder and sound products work in what locomotives. Why should we all...

... This seems extremely high for a coreless motor. Usually they are around 50/100mA or less. ... This is correct. ... I've never heard of one. You might be...
Hello, Check out Ulrichmodels, Southerndigital, Tony's trains(all online). They have what you are looking for. KGD ... From: Stuart Brorson <sdb@...> ...
Chris, Thanks for the reply. It sounds like just what I am looking for. What was the final draw of the motor current of your loco? Mine is about .9 amps....
... Agree about the current consumption, I'd panic if mine reached 50mA! I model small prototypes in 2mm scale (HO=3.5mm) and use high quality Swiss coreless...
Dear Group: A very good friend of mine (who is now deceased) by the name of John Tesch and who was employed as a design engineer for Simpson Electric in Elgin,...
While based on just a SWAG this might be a test for the four volt motor. Vibration motors such as used in cell phone and those things you get at restaurants...
I'll see what I can do about pictures and information. It won't be until the weekend or next week, I work 12 hour nights and don't have much time for anything...

You would want to insulate on the diverging route of the interchange switch and at the diverging route of the switch at point A. Chris Lancaster, CA ...
Move the A gaps to the point you are considering. You might also move the B gaps closer to the turnout to make the reversing section longer. Doug Stuard...
