I have one of the Proto  2000, and I am installing new led's. I have the one working, but the mars light is a little different as it has three leeds/wires. Is there an led that will work with this, or do I go ahead and get the regular light that is recommended as the replacement?

Thanks for your time.

Hi guys,

I am a newby who has yet to make any control investment.

Ring seems to have the most innovative control system currently on the market.  This is an exciting product!

I’ve read their web site, viewed their videos, listened to Ring’s MRH podcast, and read most of the posts to this and other sites.  I need to know more, though, and thought maybe there are others that have questions. 

Here are some that I have:

Well while I am waiting for my PSX-Ar, I have been working of exploring my NCE PowerPro. Iam trying to/ start speed matching and constisting. I have heard and read about JMRI for speed matching. And from reading the site it seems they are sure it will speed match very quickly once you learn how to do it. Am I correct in understanding this program will interface with the decoder through the track to my Power Pro to my laptop? That would be pretty neat if it does in fact do that. What is the learning curve? The instructions didn't seem too bad.

I have a reversing loop at both ends of my layout. The layout is rather large (18x23), and is mutlidecked. I have an NCE 5 amp Power Pro -R. In the reversing sections I have the digitrax AR-1. Now I can get some of the engines to go through (some with sound some with not). But when I get one engine to go through some of the others will hesitate. I have sat and adjusted and adjusted to no avail. I have been looking at Tonys Train exchange and some of the products over there. I am wondering if i should try the PSX-AR or the On Gaurd AR.
