I'm sure there is a simple explanation for me, but I have just discovered a problem. The problem is that my DCC goes dead when I throw an Atlas turnout. Everything was working well. I was away from the layout for a couple of weeks, but no one else has worked on the layout. I checked for shorts across the rails and there aren't any. I don't believe I've miswired the layout because it worked perfectly up till now. When the turnout is thrown in one direction everything seems fine. When thrown the other way, the layout goes dead. 

Hello all,

Gents,

Is anyone aware of a work around for controlling a Digitrax turnout controller (ie DS64, Tam Valley QuadLn_s) with the NCE Command Station. I know you can have two systems input into a pc for JMRI or Train Controller but we are look for NCE throttles to control Digitrax loconet devices. 

Can a pc based JMRI setup read the NCE command from the NCE interface and send a loconet message out it Digitrax interface? 

Is there some small business out there that came up with an interface between the two?

Thanks!

One of the problems I have building turnouts using the fast tracks jigs is that a lot of my bare rail supply pieces aren't entirely flat when new, they comes with an upward curve. If you hold one end of an 18" piece down on a flat surface, the other end will be maybe 1/4" in the air. That's not a lot, but it's enough to cause problems.
