Not to say that DCC won't generate noise in AM radios, but AM signals are often weak indoors, and ANYTHING that has high harmonic content will generate junk in...
Hi everybody, I'm starting to build a pretty big layout, bringing to exact HO scale Chaumont (in france) during the 1930-1940 period, and at last, using DCC to...
Although you could be having pure electrical problems (wiring, soldering, etc.) there may be some interference due to humidity. Check that your track, and...

Hi Phillipe It depends on whether you want simplicity (plug and play) or total reaiiabilty at the cost of more work and time. With insulfrog as the name...
I went for Electrfrog, rewired them per the instructions included (broke the frog connection, wired the outside rails together - pretty easy as the Peco's are...

Hello Vincent, thanks for the rewiring tip for my ancient engines. Was more or less thinking about it, because most of them don't have headlights, and I was...
Hi everybody, I've recently read your Q and A's about DCC terminators which I completely understand. My questions are, do you need them on a very long dogbone...
It is the length of the DCC bus wires rather than length of actual track that matters. Place the DCC power station/Booster somewhere in the middle of the...
Ok I'm real new to this and electrically challenged. What are RC terminates? Why do we need them? Thanks Mike ... [Non-text portions of this message have...

If you feed your DCC bus from the center, 45m of total track distance equates to roughly 10m from the feed point to each end of the dog bone. This should be...
