Push-Pull Cable Control of Turnouts

removable industrial switching area over hidden class yard lead?

Mon, 2020-07-20 07:05 — Highlandsoft

I cruised the forums and didn't find much relevant to this, so a few thoughts from y'all would be helpful.

I have room to add a several track active classification yard, about 8' long. Conventional wisdom would have an 8' lead serving it.

So how much grief would I cause myself by having the most distant 6' of that yard lead hidden under an industrial switching area?

Automate a Point to Point Model Railroad with Arduino

If you want to get started in model railroad automation, then a basic point to point layout can be a good place to start other than an oval loop. Arduino is a great platform for these projects, due to low-cost and open-source hardware and free software.

Runaway Locomotive running DCC

Sun, 2020-07-19 07:27 — snotoy2

Hi, I am running JRMI and using Engine Driver as my throttle on my android cell phone. Every once in a while I have a Locomotive that goes rough on me. I have tried to release the locomotive and then try to put it back into engine driver and then a question pops up asking me if I want to steal this locomotive and I answer yes but the same question keeps popping up. I have to remove the locomotive from the layout and pull out another one to continue with my operations. Does anyone have any idea why I cannot steal this locomotive? Thank you.

Wiring for Peco Insulfrog Code 83 turnouts for single crossovers...

Sun, 2020-07-19 03:58 — Patrick Waltz

What is the correct wiring for Peco Code 83 Insulfrog turnouts for single crossovers. Do you put insulated rail joiners between the 2 facing turnouts? How do you then wire for feeders beyond the frogs when they are mated to each other? Probably making this harder than it is. I understand the method for sifdings and yard ladders. How is this wired? Thanks!

Some Thoughts About DCC Decoder Installation

Sun, 2020-07-19 03:27 — amsnick

In addition to Jason Miller’s excellent article in this month’s Running Extra, I’d like to add another avenue of shared expertise. This weekend SoundTraxx announced their 8 function 21-pin DCC decoder and just recently ESU announced their new non-sound DCC Decoders. I follow the YouTube and have watched decoder installations fairly critically.
