NCE DCC EB1 Circuit Breakers? From:?trgrassijr@... Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2021 09:57:44 CDT? Hello All? New to this Group? Hope all are safe and well. I have a small layout and runs 3 trains at the same time.? Have 14 switches Use Atlas code 83 track on my layout. I use NCE Power Cab to control my trains. sometimes a train would derail at a switch and that would short circuit my entire layout.? So I decided to setup Districts on my layout I have three districts now and forth one in planned. My layout was all tied together by switches as cross overs.? also have a double cross over on district 2 and 3?? So I had to isolate the track on district 1 from district 2 and 3? ?in doing that I ran into a few minor issues.? On District 1 I found I now had a dead section of track which worked fine before I isolated the track. After many trouble shooting step I found I had a bad feeder wire on a piece of track before the dead section.? I think it was shorting in out somehow.? Replacing the wires will be done soon currently I disconnected them from my buss. My buss is a 14 AWG stranded pair of speaker wire?? Now with the three districts I have three separate buss lines? My problem now is on District 2 on a section of the track it short circuits and the train stops? I have feeders before the section and after the section it is a dead spot not sure what to check I tried to put my layout here but it would not let me. Any one have any ideas what to check Thanks Tom ? ? View/Reply Online?|?Reply To Group?|?Reply To Sender?|?Mute Topic?|?Top ^?|?New Topic 1b.?? Re: NCE DCC EB1 Circuit Breakers?

DB210 with DCC++ EX Command Station? From:?Blair Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2021 14:40:36 CDT? A friend recently purchased a Digitrax DB210 as someone told him he'd need one for his layout. He's trying to figure out how to connect it to his DCC++EX base station. Can he simply use the signals from his rails to feed the Loconet RailSync wires to the booster (he wouldn't need more than 5A, so the DCC++ rail outputs are otherwise unused)?? What about the 'ground' reference booster input?? I suspect that's not necessary as long as he's running just the one booster for the whole layout - unless he uses a PM42, obviously, or other Digitrax device that needs the reference.? Comments?
