Re: DR5000 & Cobalt Problems
yes the snubbers
the cobalts are powered by dr5000 the cobalt frogs are wired frog to the
common and the track feed for the frogs are left and right on the cobalts I
am not using the frog connection

Re: DR5000 & Cobalt Problems
By resistor packs do you mean DCC Filters (snubbers)?
Are you using the frog output on the Cobalts? If you are then you will be
powering the frogs from the accessories bus I.e. the YD9401. When

ok bought some of them resistor packs
I have two boosters for the track power only and the point motors all run from the dr5000/9401

Re: Detailed setup manual for the YD7010?
Hey Rick, I had a chance to test the 7010 station a bit last few days and I like it. Connection is flawless. Lots of futures and possibilities.

Re: RailCom detection
Based on that page, you're not going to get RailCom on S88, you'd need
S88.2. There is a lack of RailCom detectors that will work on other systems
(ESU and Roco have ones that only work with their own

I would like to try and test some RailCom futures. At the moment the only available detection unit comes from LoDi. Can that unit be connected directly to the YaMoRC 7010 station on the S88

Re: Detailed setup manual for the YD7010?
Rick,
Why would you need to program using a throttle or Z21 app if you have
DecoderPro? The key to understanding JMRI is that if you're using POM, JMRI
is storing the changes in the roster file, so

Re: YD8116 programming
I bought a few of these YD8116 modules mainly for turnouts. For slow motion switch machines it only takes a press of the 'Pgm' button and 1 turnout command to set all addresses for all 8 turnouts as

Re: YD8116 programming
The YD8116 does have 16 switchable outputs but each turnout uses 2 outputs
(straight and branch) therefore only 8 turnouts can be controlled ?
Many Thanks

YD8116 programming
This is probably a really dumb question.....
I need some extra outputs for signals and so I need to buy some additional signal decoders. So I was reading the user manual for the YD8116. I was under

Re: Resistor for block detection, best size?
I do the same here, make my own resistor wheels. There are several company's that do make resistors wheels in the USA.

Re: Resistor for block detection, best size?
There are many resistor wheels available, the 10K resistor wheels are popular from different MFG.s
In my picture of the DR5088RC the green buss bar is the "K" connections to the DR5088RC.

For DR4088LN-CS a 10k resistor should work perfectly. Different systems often require different values and you cannot read across from different systems to get the value for your feedbacks.

Resistor for block detection, best size?
I have both the DR4088CS and the YaMoRC equivalent. On the DR4088CS I have added the resistors as recommended.
What is the best size resistor to use for wheelsets on N scale?

Re: YD7403 and Loconet B
A bit more research shows that Loconet B is required for the YD7403 and DR5033 boosters but the YD6016LN-CS/GND can operate on either Loconet T or Loconet B. It's only Loconet throttles or anything
