No EE here. Can someone point me to discussion or charts concerning proper resistor sizes for decoder installs. I tried to install a 780ohm resistor to a...
... If you use the dogbone as "double track" even on a part, I would suggest also cutting at the 9 o'clock position. So you can avoid trouble with switches.......

EE here. Forget all the formulas and calculations. Start with 1K (i.e., 1000 Ohms) and adjust from there. Less resistance = brighter. Your results with 7800...

I use 1/4 Watt, 270 Ohm 2% up to 1/4 W 560K Ohm 2%. Depending on the number of bulbs. Lower Ohm values for fewer bulbs. I am running Soundtrax decoders...
... Martin, I don't have a direct answer, but you might try the Yahoo ROCO-Modeltrains forum. They seem to be pretty used to dealing with Roco, and from...
save some money and go with 10% tolerance. I also assume you mean 560 Ohms, not 560 K. ... the number of bulbs. Lower Ohm values for fewer bulbs. I am running...
Thanks everyone. I will pickup a couple different resister sizes and work my way down until he likes the brightness. I was concerned that going from 780 Ohm...
Hello everyone. Im at the stage where I am ready to power my layout (See diagramme). Can someone please let me know where I have to put feeds. The main...
You layout doesn't look nearly complicated enough to require any special wiring considerations. Just wire it as you would a conventional DC layout and you...

New additions to the Wiring For DCC website! 1. Locomotive installation tip for HO Rivarossi 4-8-4 http://www.WiringForDCC.com/HO_Riv_4-8-4.htm by Kevin C....
I've posted a picture file "DCC wiring diagram.pdf (wiring a Xover)". I have the entire system working like a jewel but the crossover has some type of a "loop"...
I would connect block 5 to the turnout in question and feed the combined block via the AR1. By adding the crossover you have created a reversing loop so you...
I agree with Doug. Wire the turnout in question as part of track #5. Insulate both diverging ends, but not the point end. Put an Auto- Reverser on the whole...
Doug/Don - I'm truly thankful for the assistance you have provided. I have been trying to figure out this problem since September '07 as I didn't start in...
Doug, First, thanks for the quick response to my frustrating problem. A couple more questions though. The AR1 instruction diagram shows 2 wires from the loop...
Leonard, Block 5 is your "reversing section" and thus should be connected to the output of the AR1, the input (Trk A and Trk B) being fed from the main DCC...
I am installing my first Soundtraxx Tsunami in a DM&IR Yellowstone. It seems to be easiest in this particular install to ground the front headlight, rather...
I have a small HO module with a Lenz DCC LH 100 and 4 Peco Insulfrog turnouts to be controlled by two Wabbit stationary decoders. I used a short detector per...
Will work as described only if the frame is already connected to one of the track pick-ups. Voltage to the lighting circuit will be cut in half. BUT this is...
I'm in the process of adding occupancy detection. I've been running with Digitrax for 6 years or so. I'm using inductively-coupled detectors made by Richard...
There is nothing wrong. The short detector is very sensitive. It is simply detecting your Wabbit. Do all your track wiring first. Then hook up your Wabbits...
