Yahtzee! There was nothing mentioned about a jumper in the instructions or on the diagram in the manual. After removing the tiny jumper, everything works. Thanks Joe! Brent

Great conversation and similar to one I had on the NCE group recently. I'm not an expert nor engineer (though an RPI graduate!)but am in the process of addressing this identical issue by doing the

You didn't say which circuit breakers you are using so maybe this suggestion isn't practical, but here's what I have done on my personal layout and our club layout.? Both use multiple Digitrax

The AR's have a buzzer option that you can solder n the board.? This would let you know it tripped.? I used #12 to 2 of my AR's and then branched off with #14 after the breakers.? ?I dought the

Thanks to each of you for your help. As the layout host (during ops sessions), having a centralized, easily visible control panel will help direct me to where the "problem" is. (Each breaker has a

Brent, When testing the Mini Panel are you removing the jumper? Joe

Tom, The Switch 8 appears to be wired correctly as it does what it is supposed to do when a command is sent from the Pro Cab. I wired the push buttons to the panel like you said, only difference is I

There are some advantages to having things centrally located. And, what works best for you will depend somewhat on your hardware choices. I prefer having most of my electronics in a few easy to reach

CBs are not a device that needs to have easy access to if ever.? Whay add additional wiring and work when it's not necessary.

Brent Output 1 and 8 from the tortoise goes to the Switch 8 Not sure what type of push buttons you have but two wires from the push button goes to the mini panel? ?1 wire to one of the 1 -32 ports

Steve, I tested the Switch 8 by sending commands through the ProCab and seeing it correctly threw the tortoises for each accessory address. When programming the mini panel, the ProCab gives the option

Brent Johnson inquires: “I am wiring a staging yard control panel for push button routing using a NCE Switch 8 and NCE mini panel. I wired the Switch 8, tested it, and each tortoise responded to

The second method wins. As Steve is suggesting, there is really no need to have the breakers centrally located. ...Tom

Michael Boyle inquires, “I have a power district that is just over 40 feet long. This power district is divided into five sub-districts protected by four circuit breakers and an auto-reverser. For

The small side of the AliExpress connectors go down to 22AWG. The large side goes between 18 and 20 AWG.? So while very cool it might not be ideal for drops when 12-16AWG is favored for the bus and

I haven't really looked at aliexpress before thanks for the tip. I'd like to find a decent solution for tapping into a bus without having to actually cut it and splice which the wago type connectors

Somewhere, a long time ago, I read of a person opening up his Tortoises and increasing the gap on the circuit board by filing away some of the copper pad.? While this would work, it does void your

Are you powering the frogs through the tortoise relays? We have found that some tortoises do not have a dead gap when the relay throws, so the frog shorts in the center of the throw. We had to use
