Marty, your comment about replacing the pot reminded me to let listers know how I changed the control layout on my UT1's. The direction switch, which besides ...
The problem is that there are 4 gaps into the two sections that can be crossed by trains at the same time. Previously the gaps on the two levels were right...
John, I like your idea, and I'm glad it works. My operators love the UT1(the DTs frighten the heck out of them) the way it is. They're still DC heads<VBG> and...
John, I currently have two PM4's operational, total 8 sections on my layout (with a additional PM4 on my test track.) Two of the sections are used for ...
I have no idea if this will help, but we had our system go haywire at Trains 2001 in November. We checked the booster, command station, bypassed loconet...
Well, I believe I have just about "had it" with trying to get this system to work. Installed it on three computers (two desk tops and one lap top) with no...
Hi Group, My PR-1 is has been giving me hell, I finally went and got Winlok's 32-bit program for it. I was wondering, is there anyway the MS-100 will work with...

Yes it will work with a DB150 and you can use the free PR1 DOS software with it .. .. however the functionality is limited to the capabilities of the DB150 .....
... Larry, you sent this reply to me last August and I have just found some time to try out the Railroad & Co. Programmer. It appears to offer everything the...
You're probably in the right place. My Wife and I have done HO layouts on and off for the last 17 years, I'm a novice however compared to some of the other...
Thanks very much, I'll look int this and see if I can get ti to work for me as soon as I get the steam engine on my wish list! Thanks Again! Gadget Tom ...
Bob, I feared that was the case; unfortunate. As a guy looking after a big Club, I'd say AJ's use of different power circuits on multiple boards (and thus the...
I finally got to looking at the instructions that came with the PM4 (it sometime helps to read the directions). It appears that if you use a PM4 all sections...
... I would think a smoke unit is like a bulb and would have a turn on surge current that would far exceed the 200mA rating. IMHO this would eventually burn...
Did they not make a face plate for the PM4? It has the attachment screws. Ted York See my Cajon Pass model railroad at http://www.xmission.com/~tedyork...

Bob, Something is not quite right here. I have no idea where the "OPSW#1=01" is coming from. Everything seems normal right up to and including the UR90 LED...
George, If it is an older proto, without the plug, you'll have to hard-wire a DH121. Toss out the circuit board that came with the model. Flatten any metal ...
Tom, See: http://www.digitrax.com/ftp/Decoder%20Manual.pdf Diagram #1. Look at the diode across the "Function Control Device" Note that the banded end...
Ted, You can cascade PM-4 sections with no problem, even cascade PM-4 sections into other PM-4s. No you do not have to use both A/R sections with a separate...
Ted, The PM-4 requires it's own power supply, that is an 12V - 18V AC or DC at 125mA per PM-4 Note you can share PM-4's on a single supply, and if you are ...
... Here's my twist on UT mods: At one time, I replaced the pots with Radio Shack 100k linear models because I liked the fluid feel of them. However, the...
