Ken,
Unless I reported otherwise, the switches I listed were "non-shorting" switches. But if you are using a 30-degree-indexed switch for a 60-degree-indexing or a 90-degree-indexing application, then the question of shorting vs. non-shorting contacts is really irrelevant. For such an application, there will always be at least one (unused) contact between any two used contacts. So I would consider switches with "shorting" contacts if equivalent switches with "non-shorting" contacts were unavailable.
Most of the switches I reported have 6mm shafts (and metric mountings). Some had 1/4" shafts (and imperial mountings). I was focusing on what's available at Mouser that could be usable.
I figure that a flat is usually needed, but what orientation does it have versus a position? Well, that depends on how the switch is mounted. That gets tricky when mounting a 60-degree-indexed switch in a panel; where does the anti-twist "pin" hole get oriented in the mast with respect to the mounting hole? I don't know, and cannot really guess. So I assumed that the user will add a flat, once he knows exactly what switch orientation is used on the panel and the position of the set-screws on the lever. The switches with flats are available from the manufacturer with flats at any of four angles, but I cannot guess which is correct for a given install.
Even if the lever casting is cast for an internal flat, the user can always file down the round shaft to add the appropriate flat, and even get it in the position he/she likes.
Want a manufactured flat on the shaft? Do the research and make your choice. I'm not giving away any more of my time on this subject.
Regards,
Billybob

A friend of mine just got a new computer. He is having two problems. First we set everything up for his Panel Pro. But when it comes up all the switches come up with the Unknown Icon. How do we get it to come up with the proper switch. His next problem is the newest JMRI doesn't have some of the decoders he has. He says they are older decoders. Thanks for your help. P. J. Mattson

In your Preferences, I would expect WiThrottle tab to show port 12080 (based on your description). The Web Server port is something else, shown in Preferences under the Web Server tab. In the browser, you will need to connect to <>.2:that-other-port
The default port for the Web Server is 12080 and the default port for WiThrottle is 12090. If those ports are the same, the WiThrottle server will get the port, but the Web Server will simply be blocked from working (the logs under System Console will likely show something to this effect).
Hope this helps,
Randall

Unfortunately

For controlling signals you will need a 3 position switch. Grayhill

There are some limits to what CTCParts.com can provide.
CTCParts.com specializes in the "plates" one uses on a CTC machine.
This is
where Mike's product offerings excel.
In general, Mike doesn't offer much in the way of electronics things like
rotary switches, pushbuttons, or lamps. One exception is a pushbutton
which
mimics the "feel" of a US&S pushbutton.
What are the alternatives?
For these "common" electronics components, your best bet is likely to be a
general-purpose electronics supplier. In the US, some suppliers include
Mouser.com, Digikey.com, All-electronics.com.
Rotary switches with 60 degree rotation (for US&S machines) or 90 degree
rotation (for GRS machines) can be tough to find off-the-shelf. They
do show
up occasionally. And Mouser and Digikey have often "mis-cataloged" a
manufacturer's parts as 30 degree when they really were 60 degree or 90
degree, so it helps to spend the time looking at manufacturer's specs for
the various part numbers cataloged by the supplier.
Last time I looked, Digikey and Mouser did not have any stock for 60
degree-indexed switches, but could provide 60 degree rotary switches for
orders of 2000 parts.
Tomar Inc., of Benton Harbor, MI, provides (or provided) some cast-brass
inserts which can be used in some "open" styles of commercial rotary
switches to convert a 30 degree-indexed rotary switch to 60 degree
indexing
or 90 degree indexing. Tomar also has produced US&S-like "knobs", but I
think that they no longer produce the knobs.
An alternative is to purchase "Alpha" brand enclosed 30 degree-indexed
rotary switches, and modify for 60 degree or 90 degree indexing. I've done
this by filling in one or two consecutive "indents" in the rotary switch
shell with epoxy. The trick is to open the thing without losing the spring
or ball-bearings. And to put the spring and bearings back into the
shell and
reassemble it, without losing the parts.
I do not have any particular recommendations for lampholders/bezels/lenses
or for pushbuttons.

Billybob,
Nice bit of research. However, for any of the circuits I¡¯ve seen for CTC
panels, you always want break before make types. Next is ?¡± shaft vs 6mm
shaft is less than a 1/64¡± difference, so most knobs will not notice the
difference (if they are 1/4¡± designs), the set screws can deal with that.
As for flats on the shafts or keyed mounting hardware, I¡¯ve found most MR
types seem to be rather heavy handed!! So having mounting hardware that will
prevent twisting the switch itself is important. The flat on the shaft is
critical to keep the knob in the right place, but this is easy after
installation with a couple of passes of a file on the shaft if it wasn¡¯t
equipped in the first place.
Note: We¡¯d need to check about the knobs themselves to see if they are round
or if they have an internal flat to match. That would be important to know.

Dale,
Here's my results from about 45 minutes work at the Mouser web site, looking only at "Alpha" rotary switches, and double-checking the part number versus the manufacturer's description. I appologize in advance for any typos. All were listed as "in-stock" when I looked these up today:
Mouser 105-SR2511F-43RN : Alpha P/N SR2511F-0403-19R0B-E9-N-W-159 - open style suitable for US&S 2-position lever, using Tomar "slug"; metric mounting.
Mouser 105-SR2511F-25NS : Alpha P/N SR2511F-0205-19R0B-E9-N-W-159 - open style suitable for US&S 3-position lever, using Tomar "slugs"; metric mounting.
Mouser 105-SR2512F-43NS : Alpha P/N SR2511F-0403-19R0B-E9-N-W-159 - open style suitable for US&S 2-position lever, using Tomar "slug"; metric mounting.
Mouser 105-SR2511F-25S : Alpha P/N SR2511F-0205-19R0B-E9-S-W-159 - open style suitable for US&S 3-position lever, using Tomar "slugs"; metric mounting - note that this is a "shorting" switch!
Mouser 105-SR2511F-43S : Alpha P/N SR2511F-0403-19R0B-E9-S-W-159 - open style suitable for US&S 2-position lever, using Tomar "slug"; metric mouting - note that this is a "shorting" switch!
Mouser 105-SR2511F-17S : Alpha P/N SR2511F-0107-19R0B-E9-S-W-159 - open style suitable for GRS 3-position lever, using Tomar "slugs"; metric mounting - note that this is a "shorting" switch!
Mouser 105-SR2612F-26-21RN : Alpha P/N SR2612F-0206-21R0B-D8-N - enclosed style suitable for US&S 2- and 3-position lever, or GRS 2-position lever; imperial mouting - requires internal modifications!
Mouser 105-SR2612F-26-21RN : Alpha P/N SR2612F-0206-21R0B-D8-N - enclosed style suitable for US&S 2- and 3-position lever, or GRS 2-position lever; imperial mouting - requires internal modifications!
Mouser 105-SR2611F-12-21RS : Alpha P/N SR2611F-0112-21R0B-D8-S - enclosed style suitable for US&S 2- and 3-position lever, or GRS 2-position or 3-position lever; internal modification required - requires a specialty "stop" washer which may not be provided and I have not seen such a washer purchasable separately.
Assumptions:
. Want a round shaft, since the flat will likely not line up with the knob screw for an obvious orientation of the switch
. require a 1/4" shaft, not a 6mm shaft
. "open" style switches require the correct number of positions, at 30-degree indexing, for the desired number of 60-degree- or 90-degree-indexed positions.
. "enclosed" style switches do not require at least the minimum number of positions, at 30-degree indexing, for the desired number of 60-degree- or 90-degree-indexed positions, and the number of "poles" cannot prevent unique identification of lever position when in position at any of the the 60-degree- or 90-degree indexed positions.
. pin connection isn't critical. FYI - SR2511 and SR2611 have "wire lugs" and SR2612 has "pc-board" pins.
Hope this helps.

DDA40X Dual DCC Controllers won't work
Hello,
I have an Athearn DDA40X non-sound unit that I purchased new. I didn't buy the sound version because I prefer the loksound select/direct decoders.
My primary decoder is a Loksound Direct with all lights and the front motor connected to it. My secondary decoder is a TCS T1 for JUST rear motor control.
My primary decoder is programmed for decoder lock with CV16=2 and my secondary decoder is programmed for decoder lock with CV16=1.
Both decoders work fine and are brand new. Each decoder has separate track pick up wires wired to it, so decoder 1 picks up track power from the front trucks, decoder 2 picks up track power from the rear trucks.
When I program both decoders to the 4 digit loco address only the sound decoder will drive it's motors
When I assign the secondary decoder a separate 4 digit address and consist it with the first decoder, only the first decoder motor works.
CV15=0,1,2 depending on if I'm programming or not and which decoder I want to program.
My test track is controlled by an NCE Power Pro. My programming track is the NCE Power Pro via JMRI with a working usb-serial adapter. I can program mostly fine. When I go to assign CV15 to 2, some times it comes back unable to locate engine.
I can change CV=15 to 2 using my NCE throttle and programming on the main.
I know once I get this where both sets of wheels roll I will have a fun time fine tuning the momentum.
Any advice.

Mark,
could you please provide the correct part numbers for the switches you referenced? You have shown the same part number for 3 different switches.
Thanks,
Dale Gloer

Andy,
The CTCParts.com web site has an introduction to CTC - see . Specifically, "Part 5: The Control Machine", at the bottom of the page, gives basic descriptions of the lamps and levers.
One thing I'm learning is that a given lever or lamp on the prototypical machine doesn't always have a simple explanation. There's always an exception. And railroad "X" did it this way but "Y" did it a different way and "Z" left that feature out and railroad "W" did something altogether different.
So, if you want to be strictly accurate-to-prototype, you need to discuss your implementation with an expert in signalling. I know that Mike at CTCparts.com is willing (eager?) to discuss, the various prototype railroad practices, including whys and what-fors, indocator colors, control machine plate shapes, sounds, signal aspects, braking distances, switch geometries, etc., and how they come together as a prototypical signal system. Getting some of his time, however, can be challenging.

Billybob

Both JMRI versions will use the same preferences and User Files in ~/Preferences/JMRI .

With a Mac, multiple installed versions are trivial:
- Simply rename the JMRI folder you dragged to the Applications folder to e.g. JMRI V4.6.

-DO NOT rename the ~/Library/Preferences/JMRI folder. That will not work

Thanks for the information guys, much appreciated. Jerry Michels

Re: Dispatcher Panel hardware
Looks like Yahoo stripped off the photo. I've uploaded it to the files section of the group. There should be a file upload announcement with a link.

Hi Andy,
I'm not sure if this group strips photos but here goes. The attached photo
shows a prototype CTC machine that was on the Cascade line of the Southern
Pacific. From top to bottom the switches are:
S.H. is for the switch heater.
39NR is for switch 39 normal or reverse. This is a 60 degree switch.
40LR is for signal 40 left or right. This is a 30 degree switch with the
center off.
Toggle switch is for the maintainer call.
Push button is the code button
If you want to know what the lamps are for please ask.

Re: New Version. 4.8 HELP
With the Mac you are simply dragging the distributed JMRI folder from the .dmg file to your Applications folder. Since you can't rename a folder on a disk image (Readonly) you'll have to rename the old one in /Applications before dragging. Once in /Applications, you can rename either folder as you wish (it may ask you to authenticate).
