Hi all,

After spending the holidays doing benchwork construction all day (well almost :) ), i have reached a point where the benchwork is almost finished. I need to fasten the plywood subroadbed to the risers and then off to laying some track. I have spend a lot of time in making and positioning the risers correctly so that all the pieces align correctly and the slopes are to spec.

The benchwork and legs are all coated with a sealant following good advice from Joe.

Daniel      I have a Digitrax DCS-100 Duplex Super Chief , with a DT 402D throttle . I purchased a Digitrax PR4 and installed as your video . Worked terrific ran trains all day . Now the smart phone won't connect . Been in touch with Digitrax , All they are saying is it won't work with JRMI . Told them 3 times i don't have JRMI . Can you help .                      Ian Dawson     Australia . PLus great shows and Pod casts Ken .

The recent articles in MRH about signals and signal circuits have a lot of useful information.  I would like to describe some circuits that I have used on my home layout and also on the Crossroads Club layout in Vandalia OH.  Also, some homemade signals that are not super detailed but will work and are good for a limited retirement budget.  The are three parts needed for the system (1) detection , (2) signal lamp driver circuits and (3) signals themselves.  All of the circuits are from the model magazines or from the internet.  There are no computers or mini compute

Here is a short update on the TCS WiThrottle support. I've added support for Release/Dispatch. And also preliminary support for steal, which, I believe, applies only to Digitrax systems. I'd love to hear what you guys think about stealing a loco without asking. Is that a good idea?
