Initially I was going to use a track next to the fascia for programming; however, I put the track into use in the Klemptner Bros. salvage yard.  I decided to make a portable programming track that I will keep under my layout when not in use.  When I need to program I'll set it on my desk, hook up my SPROG 3, and use JRMI to do the programming.

So, what's with the color?  I used the equipment yellow because: 1.) It's easy to see; and 2.) It the only color of spray paint that I had that I won't be using on other items.

Hi,

A local large train club in my area transitioned from DC to DCC a few years ago. Now I'm adding JMRI automation control, wiring DCC block detection and DCC control of the turnouts. 

Some of these turnouts are Fulgurex and I can't find reliable info on which kind of accessory decoders can drive these limited-switch slow motion motors.

Where is the lighting resisters that are on the mother board, the blue positive or on the white/yellow wire pads ? If I add ditch lights and use the + blue pad will I need to add resisters to the ditch light LEDs ?  Thanks for any reply's  TCS WDK-ATL-1       Zeke

Out of a batch of 60+ supposedly "warm white" LEDs, I've now found two that were actually much more cool white - noticeably so.  I'd like to now test the remainder I have on hand so I can send back all the bad apples to the Ebay vendor who supplied them at one time for replacement.  Can anyone suggest an easy, hopefully cheap way to test LEDs?  I have a micrometer - can that be used?  And if so, at what setting?
