Programming QSI Titan

I recently got my first QSI equipped loco.  http://eurekamodels.com.au/R.html

The only way I could change the number from 3 to 704 was by programming on the main but even on the main I can't read CVs using my NCE pro cab or decoder pro.

Is there a list of the various methods for programming these decoders?

Yikes.............All those wires........

........go where???

Installing a QSI Titan in an O Scale V & T 4-6-0. The group in the center are from the decoder and the groups to either side by the class lights are from the locomotive for:  R + L rail pickup (tender and locomotive); backup light LED; speaker in tender; cab light; firebox flicker(2 bulbs); class lights (2 bulbs); headlight LED and lastly a speaker firing up the stack in the smokebox.

RPK-1 RailPro Starter Kit Anyone using this newer version?

looking at this set of the controller and power supply. Anyone using this new version and the the smaller module?

I've read good reviews online and the module seems to work great. Who is using it? How does it compare to the first generation? Any problems so far and what are they?

Thanks.

Wiring for DCC reversing loop

I have posted this in another forum with no response so thought I would try here.  Below is a rough track plan already install a few years ago.  I will be starting the reversing loop at the first turnout near the top left corner by the aisle and finishing it at the turnout just above it and slightly to the left.  Yes I know there are other ways I can do this.  My question is this, when I installed the track, each piece was its own block, both ends isolated by styrene, ditto with the turnouts.

P2K decoder plug

 

Where do I get a plug like this ? This happens to be a Proto 2000 engine.  It does not need to have the PC Board attached I just want to solder wires to this plug and not to the decoder itself. I am sure there is a Digi Key product, I just do not know what to call it.

Thanks,

sound decoder speaker ratings

Hey Guys,

King of cheap again...

I Found some brand new but "very" old Soundtraxx sound decoders. How old are they? They are so old that they have yellow shrinkwrap around them. The best I can tell, they were made in the late 1990s and are part of the DSD line which got mediocre reviews. For what I paid for them, I am not going to be too picky... If they work at all, I will consider the purchase successful.

Now, here is the real question... If the speaker is the wrong Ohm rating, am I going to blow out the decoder?

Update on Atlas HO C83 Availability?

Haven't done anything with my new shelfie wink for several months.  Now that the long, cold nights of December are here, I'm feeling motivated again.

However, I had also been waiting for Atlas Code 83 turnouts to be available - I have several #4s from a previous layout but I want to switch to #6s.

So, any updates?  Is Atlas still hung up with this China supplier thing?
