How DCC signal is superimposed onto AC voltage
Hi Can someone explain to me how signal can be superimposed onto a AC voltage? I tried finding websites to explain it in technical term, but to no avail. Generally, I can't picture how this can

Re: Turnout Control via PC?
I went through this thought process about a year ago. I purchased a DS54, CVP's products, Lenz or Atlas, Team digiatal. I like the CVP product you need the edge connector and some time soldering. The

Re: Turnout Control via PC?
Just because you have DCC in your locomotives, doesn't mean you need to use electronics to control your turnouts. The old fashioned way - using a center-off momentary toggle switch - is still a good

getting started with DCC
I am about to start building a medium sized ho layout, after an absence of about 40 years. I am starting from "scratch". I would greatly appreciate some recommendations, especially with respect to dcc

Turnout Control via PC?
Hi everyone, I am tempted to use a PC to control the switches on my layout. Now, an easy way would be to buy a bunch of DS54's and to go broke over that. From what I can tell doing some research is,

Bob, A 3-way turnout is planned for my next website update. That will probably happen over the Christmas holiday break. Allan

Re: IDC Connectors
Doug, Thanks for the clarification. I did find Allan's recommendation for the 517-905 IDC's on the web site. The Mouser catalog confused me because it states: 22-18 tap wire only. I will order some

Re: IDC Connectors
3M ScotchLok 905 connectors accomodate 18-14 AWG on the "run" and 22- 18 AWG on the "tap" connection. They are single blade connectors. I dont believe there is a dual blade (similar to the ScotchLok

Hi I do not have the catalogue but I have just started wiring up and laying using just those gauges and I have used a 3m scotchlok which has a 1/4" blade recepticle built in. That means if you have a

I am using 14 gauge wire for bus and 20 gauge wire for feeders. I am not sure which type will work well for DCC. I have a Mouser catalog which sells several types.

Re: wiring a helix
Nothing special required. Same as straight or curved mainline track. In the case of a helix, run the DCC bus up one of the helix risers and connect to the track at each level. Be sure to solder all
