Blair, OK, now that we have that sorted out ... the only other way I see a problem is if you have two different reversing sections -and- have them on both sides of the cross-over section.? Your

Let's say that a PSX circuit breaker is wired directly to an NCE booster?along with a Digitrax AR1 which is independently wired to the same NCE booster such that the AR1 is not wired downstream of

Yes Jim, I did.? But even more disturbing, I posted an incorrect drawing, then kept defending it as correct.? The gaps, of course, should have been on the staging side of the crossing, because

Hello All, I now have the AR10 working with those two blocks.? It was miss wired.? Once I had the correct wiring setup it works great. My only question about the WYE frog I think I have that figured

Blair, You missed my point "whenever any train is crossing over".? Said another way - set it up so that whenever the turnouts are set to cross-over then another train "can't enter the cross-over

Hello All, I have added to my layout a Helix and upper level,? ?Still working on both of those.? But on my lower level to the helix is all new also. For the original layout I have an oval? on the

Blair. I am considering a drop down bridge across a door way to access more room for future expansion of my lay out. It would be of great interest to me to see what, how you have built yours. I have

I would use a 1 Ampere "Microswitch" or sometimes called a lever or roller switch.? Note that a magnetic reed switch is not a "Microswitch".?? This rating will only be exceeded under a rare

34 AWG magnet wire is rated for 300mA and therefore should be usable for most applications in a locomotive. I recently discovered TEMCO brand magnet wire.? They have an insulator that is designed to

I am about to leave for 2 days; I have become aware that postings are appearing here on groups.io that I am not seeing on email; not sure why, as since some are coming through, it shouldn't be a spam

See below How so?? When the four turnouts are aligned such that there are two || running tracks, there is no electrical problem whatsoever. Agreed, when the turnouts are set "X", two trains can't

To me, it's of little use to de-energize the bridge track itself, as if you actually drop the bridge when a train is on it, "you ain't paying much attention!".? YMMV, though, as perhaps your bridge

Dave That's up to you.? I'd rather use contacts in the bridge area to simply energize relay(s) that are placed where it is best to interrupt the DCC bus.? But, as usual, Rule number 1 applies - it's

Blair, I understand more now (fully?).? Since you are committed to this track plan here is what I suggest as a "solution that will make things possible/easy enough that it works". Figure out a way

What I want is for both the track on the drop-gate itself and the leads in either direction to be controlled by the position of the drop-gate. (i.e. when the gate is down, the leads have no power.) To

Swanny, it sounds like all you've done is depowered the track on the bridge - but I hope that's just a misreading.? What should be done is removing power from the approaches to the bridge, which can

I suspect over-currenting the alarm switch will only result in it's premature failure, not a fire or other calamity.? In a protective situation like this, switch failure is fail-safe.? Still, it

Steve Interspersed comments below. Regards Blair Believe me, I wish it were so.? Read on. Yes, as far as trains on this portion of the layout. Almost all, the area around the crossover will go in

"In the photos area, under my name, as we now can't load JPG files to the files area." Blair, I've downloaded and reviewed your JPG. In my opinion you're making this more complex than it needs to be.
