Morgan, That's interesting, but some context would help. Pennsy in 1952 still was running a lot of steam, so am I correct in thinking you're running mostly steam locos with the drivers picking up

Here's what I did to solve a minor problem. I use Insulfrogs and rely on hand throw, hence point feed. I have over 24 turnouts. About a year or so after laying all track, and operating. One turnout

I went to the experiment link but did not find info about length. Need to know if different wire guages are needed due to various different lengths: Here are feeder lengths from some sidings to buss

All of the locos in question have CV19=0. Loco addresses are: 7484, 8039, 8137, 8146, 8242, and 9684. (that last one is a factory Scale Trains). Lee

“ . . . . ESU and Soundtraxx decoders. His locos have 4-digit addresses and are not consisted either by advanced or universal consisting. His locos run quite well on his home layout.” What

Check CV 19 and CV29. CV 19 should be 0 for Digitrax's version of consisting. CV29 should have the address bit set to either 2 digit or 4 digit addresses. There's online calculators that can help.

I recently had a unit work fine at home, but it didn’t want to respond at the club until we had cleared the consisting…

Yes. Some decoders require OPS, some Direct and some POM. Just to change the loco number from 03 to xxxx. But there is no logical reason for a loco to work on MRC and not on Digitrax/or NCE. All locos

When my first APC stopped working - and yes, there was a light to indicate that. All I needed was a new battery. The APC cost ? $50. And the "APC approved" battery cost $30. But on Amazon, a

Lee, At this point, you don't really have an MRC vs. Digitrax issue. If you reset the locomotives, the should run on the Digitrax system as address 3. I've seen at least one funky decoder.? Our

Group, I realize this group is more for wiring problems, but please hear me out. I have posted to both the Digitrax and MRC DCC groups with no definitive ideas. Background: I am (supposedly) the DCC

I forgot… The indicator lights indicating replacement are more than important, they are essential! Without this feature, it is impossible to know when the Surge will need to be replaced... The

Hello again Morgan! I'm happy to share with you! I don't know why other DCC manufacturers don't indicate this very relevant information!? The cost? The fear of manufacturers that potential customers

Thanks Eric. I find it extremely interesting and important. If NCE recommends one. Why don't Digitrax or others? And this is the first I've heard of any need of a super-upgraded surge protector being

Hello everyone! I cannot answer Morgan's question. This is beyond my knowledge. I only know about Tripp Lite from my research. APC products appear to be rare in Canada. Personally, I opted for Tripp

I don’t think a surge protector would have any major effect on DCC Command stations because they are protecting just the power supply itself not specifically the Command Station. Kurt

I mentioned that I use APC surge protectors for our PC's. So how will they work for MR and DCC? Anyone know for sure? i.e. Do APC's have "these MOV and TVS

The best surge protectors will use MOVs and TVS Diodes. The diodes react very quickly but cannot handle large amounts of power. The MOVs can handle the power but are slower. A well designed MOV

Thank's for the scoop and your experience! Eric

I have two APC surge protectors. One on my PC and the other on my wife's. I can recommend them. Morgan Bilbo, DCC since 8/18. Model PRR 1952.
