Digitrax Power Extender Polarity

Hi gang. Can anyone tell me what the polarity is on a Digitrax PX108 Power Extender? The unit has a black and a red wire. I want to use it with a non Digitrax decoder. 

MRC Prodigy Advanced Squared Throttle on older Advanced non squared command station

Has anyone tried this or knows whether this is working?

My old throttle has given the ghost after 13 yrs and since I run a small switching layout with 3 loco's max, I don't really see the need to invest and/or upgrade. Just looking to replace the throttle.

Sent a question to MRC, who do not seem to respond so I wonder anyone here might know whether I can add the newer throttle to the older command station to get back up and running again.

Many thanks!

Android App DCC Controller via WiFi (ESP32) and Arduino

Further to my Bluetooth version and great feedback from this site, I have now released an updated design of the DCC system using the ESP32 node MCU module instead of Bluetooth. This allows the user to have more than one mobile phone throttle for club layouts etc.

Digitrax programming

I have a pair of HO Kato engines with TCS decoders that were loaned to a 'friend' for use during an open house event.  Now that they have been returned for use on my NCE system, they don't light up, don't hum, don't nothing.
The borrower says he "didn't do anything to them."
Anyone have an idea what the problem is, and how to get them running again? Programming on the main and resetting the decoders according to the TCS protocol has not helped.

Hello everyone,
