Re: A suggestion ...
Hi All, There is a DCC for Beginners page on the Wiring for DCC website.? Also, there is a Site Map/Index which is probably the most concise place to find something.? Every topic is indexed there

Re: A suggestion ...
There is also the vast amount of information in https://www.WiringForDCC.com ( https://www.wiringfordcc.com/ ). I imagine that most of these topics are addressed in detail there. It is always easier

Re: A suggestion ...
As an experienced modeller of 50 plus years, I agree with Jerry. And as an aside, it would be helpful if concrete instructions for how to submit a diagram or photograph were available on the

Re: A suggestion ...
I am not sure how to respond to this. I go back and forth between the two: basic vs. advanced DCC threads. What I find curious is that any question, basic or advanced, can be simply ignored. So if

Re: Reverse Loop Question
If you want to extend the reversing section onto the double track portion I would recommend using relays driven by switch machine contacts rather than an automatic reverer. I'm not going to claim that

Re: Reverse Loop Question
No need for apologies David. It can be difficult picturing a situation without a diagram. Thanks for confirming what I had suspected. The parallel tracks exiting the loop does complicate the

Re: A suggestion ...
Well, one issue with Frequently Asked Questions collections is that the New People don¡¯t necessarily know about them. So I suggest a monthly message with the list of topics in the FAQ, including

Re: A suggestion ...
Jim, I agree with you. Now, how to implement your idea, if enough people agree? Some issues, such as best practices and joiners vs feeders are controversial, simply because in many cases, our wiring

A suggestion ...
Hi all, I'm not sure how to get this done correctly ... but I'll make a suggestion.? Other methods/approaches are welcomed. The thing is that this list seems to be especially prone to "revisiting

Re: Reverse Loop Question
George, I think what you are saying is correct. You can extend either end of the reversing loop through one turnout in your nearest crossover. What isn't allowed is to do that with both turnouts of

Re: Reverse Loop Question
Hi Goerge, I must apologize for my previous answer as it is not totally correct. Something didn't seem right in my mind, so I drew the picture. It really helps if you draw the picture. What you need

Re: Reverse Loop Question
Thanks to all who responded to my question. It basically confirmed what I had thought. I do have a follow up question. It is to do with which option is better. Gap before the exit crossover or Gap

Re: Reverse Loop Question
George, You already have two good responses, but I wanted to mention that I think we have the same situation on our layout. We use a BXPA1 to control the reverse loop, and it works well. I agree

Re: Reverse Loop Question
George, Tim's answer is correct, but without a picture, it seems a little confusing. I would answer your question this way - Make the loop the reversing track, and double-gap the rails at each end of

Re: Reverse Loop Question
George; The simplest solution is to make the crossover the end of the reversing section. In this case you would gap both tracks on the crossover track and at the frog end of both turnouts. Just don't
