I have Michael Hilliard's I.D. decals on all of the Golden ~ Blackhawk & Central City's locos and much of the rolling stock I take to shows.

Don't forget that Michael Hilliard also started a color scheme for decals that could be applied to the car(s) for identification. It had the Railroads Monica in letters plus the owner's initials plus a 5 or 6 color scheme. Possibly you could get all of this wrapped together. Michael's allows for far more combinations (like over 3,000 to 15,000+) if there were five or six 5-colored colored rectangles. Probably not of importance for a tiny group like a local group, but if the members get mixed up into different groups or go to national shows then it does become an important factor] Find any message of mine on ZCentral and you can see what one looks like. ...don --- In Z-Bend_Track@..., "Robert Ray" <pray59@...> wrote: > > The ZoCal group guys are asking about the color codes, and although we > all mourn Bill's passing, we must continue on, selecting others to pick > up the slack. > > I would like to nominate Randy Smidt as he is the national modual > coordinator anyways, and in communication with all teh Z-Bend Track > clubs. > > Anyone second this? > > -Robert Ray > |

I took a careful look at Michael's decals. You can get 6.25 x 10
(with 29 zeros) unique combinations. That takes care of Z and in fact probably the whole universe. Joe should be dreamy eyed if only one-ten thousandth of this many bought Z ...don --- In Z-Bend_Track@..., "Don Avila" <d.f.avila@...> wrote: although we pickall mourn Bill's passing, we must continue on, selecting others to up the slack. |

Re: What DCC system do you folks tend to use?
Jeff Merrill
The Bay Area Z Cooperative, aka The BAZ BoyZ (and GirlZ) uses the NCE ProCab 5 amp system with EB3 circuit breakers at strategic points (turnouts, module sections, etc.). We are entirely wireless based Cabs, supplying our own. I own the bulk of the modules, 1 of which is the Wye to tie 3 legs together and houses the ProCab hardware and wireless base station. We have enouhg modules to fill a 20x30 area and easily run this off of the one central wireless base.

One member already has one wireless Cab and another non-wireless. One member recently purchased his own ProCab (all in one) for his home layout. He can either plug it in as a non-wireless or you can now upgrade them to wireless (only for ProCab based use, not as wireless on the basic PowerCab hardware). Hope that helps.

I am prepping four modules to be used at the Detroit NMRA National Convention, Plan on wiring the modules for DCC. Currently have the options to use Digitrax system or a North Coast system. If I settle on Digitrax, the system cam be set up as wireless or set up as NCE then it is Cab based (due to the available hardware I have on hand). Both systems will be set up to provide 10 volts to the rail. When you guys set up for shows that use DCC which system do you tend to use? Is there a preference? Do you provide the throttles or does everyone bring their own? Thanks in advanced Stu |
