Re: How Do I Connect Everything Togethe?
Les, I'm not really sure I'd call anything an "upgrade" from the ESU ECoS, as that's a very powerful and feature-filled system, but if you want to try something new, the YD7001 is a great place to

Circuit Breakers
Hi, I've noticed that both YamoRC and Digikeijs show connecting their command stations directly to the booster and then directly to the feedback modules. What is the recommendation for adding circuit

Re: Circuit Breakers
Hi, May I ask a counter-question for my own understanding ?? As in Europe it is not very common to use circuit breakers at all, we all rely on the short-detection in Command Station and

Re: Circuit Breakers
Thanks for the resonse. I suggest that others will have a better understanding of this topic. I am doing an American layout so most of what I read is based on their practices which are often NCE and

Re: Circuit Breakers
Karst, In the US we use circuit breakers extensively to make power districts. We also tend to be more operations-focused and have larger layouts. The challenge in matching up European and US DCC

Re: Circuit Breakers
Alex and karst, A few comments to add to the mix... 1. Yes my layout design uses 8 unit trains each double heading ie 2 locos per train. They spend most of their time sitting in Layover Tracks (aka
Re: Circuit Breakers
Oldngrey, It's true that 3A boosters require significantly more booster than 5A or 8A boosters in order to ensure that enough power is available to any given power district. At least if you're using

Re: Circuit Breakers
Alex, *sigh* you are right. I was too hasty in comparing the PSXX to a 3 Amp booster in terms of price. The PSXX-3's I have cost around the same price as a single YD7403. So 3 times as much per

Re: Circuit Breakers
Oldngrey, Just about anything will be a lot more expensive than an 8 amp Digitrax system. So it really depends on what features are important to you. RailCom could add a lot to automating your

Re: Circuit Breakers
Alex, I thought your comment about cost comparison between YaMoRC? and Digitrax was interesting A number of years ago our club converted to DCC and we choose Digikeijs at the time.? Mostly due to

Karst, A suggestion, if I may. Since this forum belongs to YaMoRC could you use it as your main English language forum (and/or other language) to make announcements concerning YaMoRC products? For

Re: Circuit Breakers
Wow Guys :D THANKS ! What a simple question can do :O It's clear to me now, and indeed a completely different vision between US and EU, not only with modelers, but also with regulation. European

Hi Richard, Good idea. I will post here any new releases. Greets, Karst

Re: Circuit Breakers
Andris, So first off, I don't think that the only metric for comparing products should be lowest cost, and it is an apples to oranges comparison, as the YaMoRC booster works with RailCom, while

Re: Circuit Breakers
Karst, That's... fascinating. How are Zimo and Massoth boosters with 12A outputs being sold in the EU? Or Digitrax and NCE products with 8A and 10A boosters, respectively? And what about large scale?

Re: Circuit Breakers
Alexander, Simple, they do not / are not allowed to sell it as toy-ware. "... 280A of NCE PB110 boosters at 16V..."? simply insane :O ( IMHO ) What kind of layout needs this ? Grtzz, Karst

Where To Buy
Since we are in the mood for suggestions, the YaMoRC website "Where To Buy" page does not mention Iron Planet Hobbies as a USA distributor. I am not affiliated with them in any way, but they do list

YD6016LN-RC inputs going to waste
The circuit breaker topic went?in an unexpected direction, but I thought I needed some confirmation about another essential requirement - detection. Hence the new topic. Adding in Railcom to a layout
Re: YD6016LN-RC inputs going to waste
Oldngrey, The use of boosters as reversing devices is rather archaic, from the very early days of DCC, precisely because it usually ends up wasting most of the output of a booster. YaMoRC doesn't

Re: Circuit Breakers
Karst, Ok, that makes more sense, probably why there are warnings that they are not for use by people under the age of 14. What is the incentive to sell as a "toy-ware" versus electronics for
