Re: Mounting Hankscraft switches to foam board?
That is a great idea! Do you recommend a small square of masonite per switch or cover the bottom of the foamboard? I'd prefer a small square if you think Foamnails or gorilla glue will hold.

Re: Mounting Hankscraft switches to foam board?
Brian, I would think a small square of masonite or 1/4" piece of wood should do just fine. Just be careful when putting in your screws. Don't put them in too tight or you will strip the

polyurethane (gorilla glue) and laytex type (liquid nails) construction adhesive for FOAM projects will also stick well to wood & foam. I'd use 1/4 inch plywood as the porous nature of real wood

Re: Wiring Blocks Common Rail or Isolate both rails?
Steve, You have 4 possible areas of failure: 1. The BD4 isn't wired up correctly to the track. I don't see the BD4 manual on Digitrax's website so I can't help you much. I am using BD1s which

If you want a detailed answer, you are going to have to wait about a week and half when I have more time. Here is what you need to do. You need to clear the Chief's slots. If my memory serves me

Re: Digest Number 27
Analog engines will run slower on DCC as the did with DC. It is in the nature of the way how analog engines are handled: A part of the DCC signal is stretched either in the positve or ngative part
