Massey, Sorry about that! Your mind is working really well and your body can still solder really well. - Tonkphilip
Massey, Thank you for introducing us to this ground breaking control system. It is clever how it uses new DCC technology and old rotary switches...
Is that a Microscale decal for the name?
Jim, That helps, I will look for those hard-wire side cutters. Thanks, Tonkphilip
Massey, The angled looks better unless you need the extra perimeter space for kids fingers and trains. - Philip
Jim, Your detailed explanations are fantastic, well done! I have a really simple question: 1. What tool do you use to cut off the servo wire...
Yes, they work well with their internal spring.
Bremner, These 36 inch radius code 80 Peco switches, were recommended for the mainline in the NTrak manual back in the 80s and are a solid...
Dave, That sounds like a very good plan. At minimum, you might be able to get away with one breaker for the two dogleg tracks. One AR for the long...

Dave, From your description above with #7 and #10 turnouts, I surmise that you are using Atlas Code 55 track. They have a nice side contact for...
Dave, You have a wonderful big layout. You also have great possibilities for extending the reversing section length. See my sketch attached which...
Dave, Does the problem with the Kato cars happen on the main line track? Or, does it just happen on the reversing section? I understand how a...
Perhaps, using contact strips and a capacitor module is the best contact solution for DCC?
Dave, Is it possible that there are current step settings on the auto reverser? Perhaps the current being drawn by the lighted cars is too much...
