Re: New DCS52
... or if you are like me you use an NCE PowerCab for your "basic/initial programming". The PowerCab is, quite simply, the best programming environment ... reliable, fast, and easy.? I got one of

Re: New DCS52
I had a power pax years ago and even then it only worked some of the time. I got a PTB100, maybe a decade ago and it has never failed me once. David Klemm Sent from my iPhone 12 PRO

New DCS52
I purchased a new Digitrax DCS52 and have problems trying to add four digit address to my BLI locomotives.? I can test drive BLI in analog mode but cannot do four digit.? I have heard that the DCS52

Re: Seeking reversing section input
Nick, I agree with Tim.? I'd make the upper purple section from the red turnout as far back as your longest anticipated train your reversing section, or longer.? If you are using DCC, I'd recommend

Re: Seeking reversing section input
Nick, after sending my previous message, I looked at your diagram again, and realized that you'll probably be best served by making your red section the auto-reversing section. Sorry for any

Re: DCC system resets when accelerating locomotives
It might be other reasons, but this as happened on our museum layout a number of times, and it has always been too many sound-equipped locomotives and/or lighted cars in the same block. Too much

Re: Seeking reversing section input
Pasting a picture doesn't work, so look here /g/w4dccqa/photo/268225/3304600?p=Created%2C%2C%2C20%2C2%2C0%2C0 to see the connections to eliminate. Tim

Re: Seeking reversing section input
If you eliminate these connections to the main track Then your situation will be greatly simplified. Your layout is then a simple oval with the branch line on the tail of a wye to Dubols. Make the

Re: DCC system resets when accelerating locomotives
Allan and others, an NCE Power CAB can measure and display the ampere demand. It is rated for only 2 amperes. A PowerPRO system (with the right power source/supply) is rated for 5 amps but cannot

Seeking reversing section input
Hi, I'm re-starting my RR from scratch (getting more space is wonderful).? I've found reversing sections aren't my strong suit, so I'm seeking feedback on the plan to see if I have it right - or too

Re: DCC system resets when accelerating locomotives
Perhaps the simplest way of debugging a problem like this is the classic ¡°halving¡± strategy. In short, disconnect half of your railroad. Find which half provokes your problem. Then repeat the

Re: DCC system resets when accelerating locomotives
Phil, The PowerCab is seeing a short/high amp draw - there's enough power for the layout to come up but not enough for the added draw of trying to move a loco.? Sound locos draw more than

DCC system resets when accelerating locomotives
On my NCE DCC Power Cab layout, after over 10 years of successful operation, my DCC locomotives began to reset the system after I had accelerated above 3 or 4 on the 28 speed setting. By reset, I mean

Re: Digitrax Throttles not working
Check for the flashing dot between F11 and F12 on a DT400. The dot has three states, off, on, and frustratingly flashing. It should be on and not flashing. Press [Pwr] then [Y/+] to make the dot go

Re: Digitrax Throttles not working
Your problem sounded familiar as soon as you said, "My Club." if you have someone who uses their own throttle it probably wasn't attached to the layout and was not affected by a software change and
