And so here we go again. Like I said, I put everything back to DC and what a real nice running engine this thing is. So dismantled DC and put back to DCC. It started out nice for about 16 feet and

Ok, so today I totally dismantled my Proto GP30 and put it back to DC. It operated just like it's supposed to. Now I will again convert it to DCC and see what this will bring to me. Hopefully I'll be

Nick You've hijacked the thread, this is no longer about MERG Cbus. It's good form to raise your own new topic instead (by hijacking, you've ensured that those who aren't interested in MERG won't see

Hi Nick, With an NCE system, it's quite likely you may also want to think about a Cab Bus. That's where things like extra wired cabs go, but also, if you want them, mini panels and AIUs (feedback

Thanks Ken. I am definitely going to join MERG to reap the benefits. As I am nearing wiring on my layout I think I need 3 bus lines, one for DCC, a 12 volt one for accessories and one for the Cbus. Is

John, If I were you, I'd add one intermediate testing stage between weighted/DC and non-weighted/DCC, as that changes two big variables at one time. I'd do non-weighted/DC in between to cut one of

Well guys, I have read everything that you have given me and most of it, I have tried and will keep trying. Those of you who have the Proto 2000 locomotives know about the heavy weight in them, know

I forgot to put this in the last post, It acts like it just is not picking up power from the track and a slight nudge, not even moving it and it takes off, but not always. How dumb, right. I'm just

Tom, A gap has either closed up or opened that you depend upon.? Your symptoms indicate that it is a closed gap.? Probably due to cleaning track because we often press down too hard and move the

Greetings everyone, The Wiring for DCC is now secure.? You will notice that it is now https://www.WiringForDCC.com.? You don't have to do anything special.? If you don't see the https in the URL,

Thanks everyone for the excellent feedback. This community is a great resource. I think the NCE mini panel will incorporate the various methods of switch control that I will need. I appreciate the

Got it. Thanks, Tim
