TCS is my standard now. I've replaced all other decoders. The new BEMF feature is fantastic. Great products, service, and reliability. Ray
I assume you mean for DC operation since Radio Shack doesn't sell DCC stuff. There is no kit that I know of, but a small bridge rectifier can be...
Rick, I couldn't have said it better. I for one would rather not buy either traction tired steamers or non-pulling steamers without...
Find me some prototype steam engines with traction tires and I'll be happy with them. They detract from a model in my opinion In addition, as...
Using the BCD turnout control circuit a gentle "snap" is produced. Sure saves on turnout life and alignment. It's really inexpensive. Less than $3...
Probably. As soon as you convert the Lionel to 2-rail DCC operation.
I run 6 locos and have 3 more idling. All this on the Prodigy Express 1.5 amp system. I use the Prodigy Advanced throttle and the Express...
Your best bet is to use a 1.5 volt regulator connected to the 12v source. It will make lots of 1.5v power available for many bulbs. No resistor is...
I have an N-scale Overland Lehigh Valley caboose that someone made a mess of trying to weather it. It has plastic windows so I can't simply remove...
Radio Shack carries these compact and easy to use terminal strips: European 12 position Terminal Strip 274-0680 $2.45 European 8 position...
I wish someone would try the loco without the TT. If I wanted rubber tires, I'd have bought a truck.
I'm a happy subscriber, but I sent Pam some compliments and some suggestions.
The AMD-1 provides you with dither too. I wouldn't be without it.
You're right on. The last number is the number of 0s following the first 2 digits just like the color code. I think your idea to use spare Atlas...
If you use a dropping resistor to drop the lamp voltage, you can extend the life. In fact double the life at least. Try using a 1.5v battery...
Don't know, but the TCS AMD-1 is a snap-fit pulh&play substitute for the Atlas light board. It works wonderfully well with the shell on.
The spec sheet for the TCS M1 lists resisror values for bulbs. but not LEDs. If you use the "blue" wire power source, a 1000 ohm, .25 watt...
You don't need TTL. An old fashioned diode matrix and toggle switches will do the job nicely. TTL logic requires a regulated power supply,...
