Peco On30 turnouts
Are the Peco On30 turnouts basically the same for DCC purposes as the HO Electrofrog turnouts? Thanks in advance for any help.

Power Bus Terminators
OK, I'm newly DCC and sold on doing the R-C termination on my new under construction DCC layout. However, I can not find anywhere, including the Wiring for DCC web site, what KIND of capacitor to use.

Re: bus runs
Some quick answers 1. DCC bus wiring should resemble a tall tree...a trunk with a few short branches. but each trunk and branch should be two wires. Yes, all sub-block (branch) wiring should also be

You have indicated that the bus runs should be twisted. I have several questions. 1. Should all three wires (when creating sub blocks) be twisted togeather? I assume so. 2. Can the twists be in

Re: Simple Minds
NCE is by far the easiest to use. Very intuitive operation. Push the labeled buttons & follow directions on the display screen when you need to. Radio in Digitraxx works better but cab/throttle

Re: Wiring Ditch lights with Digitrax in Kato SD80MAC
I suggest you use grain of rice bulbs instead of LEDs. The reason is because GOR bulbs have insulated wire leads and LEDs don't. GOR bulbs are simly easier to wire in confined spaces. How to use GOR

Re: modifying Walthers / Shin DCC double crossover?
Giles, You definitely don't need to solder any wires to the guard rails around the frog. I'm not sure how Walthers makes their frogs. I get good electrical continuity when I measure a new turnout. If
