Now the weathering and detailing will start!

Control is Digitrax , it is set at 53" height.

This blog will document my journey into 3D printing.  I am starting from scratch, so I figured that documenting my journey may assist others into "jumping into the pool".

How do you transition a road that suddenly ends at the edge of the layout?

I have been putting quite a bit of thought into the edge of my layout and how to not have “my miniature world” just come to an end.

NCE Light It Programming with JMRI

Fri, 2020-06-19 22:29 — sanchomurphy

Hi everyone,

I am having issues reprogramming the address for an NCE Light It decoder I have on an aux. tender with to light functions. NCE instructions don't appear to work.

It is certainly operational on 3 but I have failed to reprogram it to a long address (3280). 

This is my first time with the Light It and any help would be appreciated.

I have JMRI and DecoderPro via a Pi Sprog One.
