Gang, 

I know this is probably highly dependent on era and railroad preference, but when dealing with two or more diamonds, how are the guard rails normally done? Here is my "kitbash" on two Atlas 30 degree crossings. As you can see, the guard rails are extended between the two diamonds. Does this look prototypical ?

Good evening, 

I have been searching online and found just a couple of websites that offer HO scale custom built turnouts. I have emailed both with no response but I am giving them time.  I purchased a couple of custom built turnouts via an ebay seller but that was many moons ago.   Meanwhile while I am waiting on response I am looking to see if there is someone in our group who can make custom built #8 or #10 turnouts using Code 70 rail.  

Thanks

I’ve run into a mindboggling issue with Speed Matching and I’m wondering if keep-alive circuits could be at fault.  The problem is simply that a few of my speed-matched locos need a warm-up period before they reach their fastest speed at any speed step.  Until then they run as much as 10% slower.

Hello, I have been installing decoders for customers here in Illinois for more than 10 years, but I recently came upon a bad issue.
Customer had Proto 1000 Subway car with an 8 pin DCC plug on the lighting board. I removed the factory jumper plug and installed an NCE 8 pin plug in decoder (N14SRP). Had this decoder on hand and was new.
Programmed on program track, using Decoder Pro, put on main line and in about 10 seconds 1 of the diodes for the bridge rectifier burned up big time.
