Track and electrical/DCC

DCC in a box for modular layouts?
Hello all,
I've been working on a Free-moN module (almost done, and getting ready to start another) and I was wondering if anyone's ever assembled a complete DCC system in a transportable case to use with modules at shows, meets, etc. I have several ideas, but I'd like to see how others have done it.
Thanks,
Andrew

Wiring Bipolar LEDs as Dwarf Signals for Switch Indicators?

DPDT to Rotary switch for turnout control
Giday Folks
I am in the process of installing a few of the Proto 87 Moles on my layout for my turnout controls. I had full intentions of using a DPDT switch to operate the machines but am now considering using a rotary switch instead. I could use these to better show the direction of the turnout. My problem is in order to do this I have no idea what type of rotary switch to buy or the proper pin arrangement to wire it. Can anyone lead me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance
Allan
I think I know the answer but I'll ask anyway

Weathering CVT Ties before I install the rail
I'm getting ready to install my first batch of CVT ties. I have the homabed down and primed.
laying track with glue
Hi guys - just thought I'd share this because i was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked.
I just added a removable staging fiddleyard which is essentially a 12 inch wide sheet of MDF containing 5 staging tracks. Since it is installed in front of my wife's storage shelf it has to be very easy to remove! I wanted to make sure there wouldn't be any nails sticking out the back, as this could be a pain (literally) when moving the unit, so I thought i would try some type of glue.

Puzzling performance of Atlas GP-15 with Digitrax replacement board
Hi everyone. I have two N-Scale Atlas GP-15 locos that have Digitrax DN163A4 installed.
One of them performs perfectly but the other has a severely limited top speed. A crawl is about all it will do. I have made no adjustments to either decoder other than changing the address of each. I have checked CV 5 and 6 and both are set to 0 on each loco.
Any bright ideas?

UR91 PROBLEM
I got 2 UR91s that I got hooked up to the layout. I started having this problem with them both hooked up in the line together, they would stop working on radio. I would unhook one and the other would work, same with the other one also. Both ID's are the same. I took them both off the layout and hooked them straight into the DCS100 and it would work perfect, same for the other. I hook them back into the layout where they are on the same line around the layout and they quiet working if both are hooked up. I don't know what the problem is, someone know?
