I have an existing layout. I'm getting ready to change over to DCC. I have Electrofrog Peco turnouts. I have heard that if you put insulators on the frog rails and the stock rails of the

Paul, if your layout is running correctly hnow on DC then you don't have to do anything to start up with DCC. However, if you want to change the way you power your tracks after you convert to

Good Morning, I am new to this list and my question is: Is it possible using Atlas snap switches and DCC, to connect a two light signal to it, to show red or green depending on which way the

Not directly, if I understand your question correctly. The Atlas Snap Switches (the turnout) have a metal but non-powered frog. You can power the frog by using external microswitches or relays, one of

Paul, One of the statements I often heard about conversion from DC to DCC is that if everything works under DC, just hook up a DCC booster, and things will work. In my opinion, this has to be taken

Keep both main tracks at the same polarity. [i.e - Wire both North rails to be at the same polarity. Don't make a figure 8 loop crossing through the crossover.] Throw all 4 turnouts to be in the

Here's a drawing of the double crossover that shows what Don is talking about. http://www.wiringfordcc.com/switches_walthers_old.htm#a2 Allan

I did not want to scare anyone off DCC, but would actually encourage everyone to take this route. I would only recommend that everything is working fine under DC so that the conversion experience

A couple more comments 1. Note the close proximity of rails of opposite polarity near the frog points. This is where extra wide wheel treads and out of gauge wheel sets may contact both rails. Also

I have a fairly ambitious layout a-building, and it's time I considered DCC power distribution. I have posted a PDF to the files section of this group, named "ACR 20040402b DCC.pdf", to give you an

Blair, Thanks for posting the detailed drawing. I will think about your layout some more over the weekend. I'm sure some of the other people will have a few comments for you. Here are a few of
