Can I program a "DCC Block Watcher" (block detector) using a JMRI computer interface and how can that be done? I am a bit of a novice when it comes to programing cvc's. The only thing I've done in that vein is assign train numbers. I am using an MRC Prodigy Advance²  system. 

Once again I reach out to those who know. I would like to add N scale articulated gates and signals to these crossings.

does any one know of a any commercial units or would I have to scratch build from components. Also who sells the decals for the RR crossing painted on the road.

Hey guys.

Has anyone else used the 1.5volt circuit on a SoundTraxx tsunami for loco headlight/backup lights using SoundTraxx 1.5 volt or similar bulbs?  I have found the lights are very dim.  They aren't even noticeable when on the dimmed setting.  Am I doing something wrong or are they just very low output bulbs.  I could hook them up to the 12 volt contacts with resistors but i thought the whole point of the 1.5 volt contacts was to avoid having to do this.

Any help is greatly appreciated..   

Thanks

Saturday I drove up to my LHS and picked up an Atlas #2752 custom N line #6 switch. Funny thing I never noticed that on the bottom of the package in bold white letters on black background "made in the U.S.A."  I thought all atlas track items were made in China.
