***Thx John- that would solve my problem exactly. The way Ed at NCE explained awhile ago, they like the boosters ( SB DB DB )? all together, ?and cross grounded. The connectors that come with my DB5s were short, unit to unit. Which means LONG power bus wiring to my two outlying locations / zones. I will let you talk to Ed and let us all know...THX Bill*-*

Alan, Sure.? I can ask NCE tomorrow.? But for your information, I have attached? the page on the NCE DB5, showing its connection to the SB5.?? A Powercab becomes a Procab when plugged into a booster, instead of its own powered fascia unit with the red light.? So for my programing track, I plug the Power Cab into its red light plate which goes to the programing track (the Power cab has enough amps for programing) ?And for running on the layout I plug it into a UTP connected to an SB5 booster (which gives the amps to run multiple trains) which is connected to the layout and the control bus, which goes to other UTPs around the layout.?? So I wonder if I can just plug the DB5 into one of the UTPs, and then connect to the SB5 with a 12 gauge ground wire.? The diagram makes me think so. John

John,
?
You got me on this one.? I don't have any knowledge of the DB5 and I haven't seen an SB5 up close and in person.? Everyone around here either has a Power Cab without expanding it or a Pro Cab system.
?
I don't see the DB5 on NCE's website.? It may be discontinued.? If you don't have your documentation for it, NCE can probably provide it.
?
I'd ask your question of NCE.? NCE's support is support@....? Let me know what you find out.
