HELP !!! Rough subroadbed making for rough uneven track
Gang,
This is long, but I need some help. I have asked about my friends layout before, but now I really need a GREAT idea that does not involve tearing it all up and starting over. That is the only real answer I know, but I just don't think my buddy is going to tolerate that and will be done with model railroading if I were to suggest that.
There is A LOT of background information, but the bottom line question involves smoothing a rough subroadbed.

Configuring an LCC node for a Turnout
For those who may be interested, I did a step-by-step blog post on how to configure an LCC node for turnout control. This is very similar to doing one for detection, but there are enough differences that I thought it good to document.

Peco N switches, servos, spring
Hi all.
I’m going to drive my code 80 N scale Peco switches with servos. I suspect the servos will have enough grunt to move the points even if I leave the springs in. However, I was setting up a switch to test some 3D printed servo mounts I found. I drilled through the middle of the throw bar to insert the wire, but then found the switch wouldn’t move. I’m guessing that the wire is somehow jamming the spring.
Easy Crossing Signal Circuit

For years I have been reading articles on EASY crossing signal circuits. After reading these articles and gathering all the parts needed (not that simple since my local Radio Shack is gone) I have several failed attempts in my shop. Now after all these years my prayers have been answered.
Tsunami decoder : activate only bell and horn
Hello,
I'am using different machine (european and american) on my railroad. On american machine (equiped with a tsunamu dcc soundtrack decoder), I can't succeed removing the engine motor sound while keeping the bell and horn working when I activate the correspondant function : With F8 ON, the motor sound if off, and also the bell and horn.
Is there a special CV configuration so as to have the motor sound activate using a function, and bell and horn using the F2/F3/F4 functions?
