I'm struggling with the installation of an RR Cirkits Watchman for use with block detection on my layout.

I've configured the watchman according to the instructions and have wired it to a single CT Coil attached to a drop feeder on one of the blocks I've set up on the layout.  What I can't figure out how to do from the manual directions is how to 'read the signal' from the CT Coil and have it change the state of the block on my JMRI control panel schematic to show the occupied block.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi gang. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm helping a friend with the electrical aspects of a lift out section at the doorway to his layout room. He needs to have stopping blocks on each side of the doorway so trains can't drop into the abyss. What I would like to set up for him is a relay on each side of the doorway that will be actuated by a limit switch. The limit switch will be actuated by placing the lift out section into position. The relay normally open contacts will close and power the stopping blocks.

Has anyone installed a keep alive  in an MRC 1730 which is in an Athearn CF7 ? Looking for hookup points for the two wires.  I like the MRC but it drops out at times going thru my Fast Track turnouts at low speeds and I have a switching layout.   Thanks in advance.  Zeke

I just installed a new SoundTraxx Tsunami2 EMD Diesel PNP sound decoder in a Kato GP35 that I finished working on two days ago.  It tested fine and ran well, so I finished programming everything through JMRI using the mainline programming on my NCE Power Pro system.  Then yesterday I took it to my inlaw's house to show my family.  They have a small DC track and knowing that the Tsunami2 can work on it, I ran it several times there and it did fine.  However, on one of the runs, it sputtered quickly about four times and just stopped.
