I spend many fruitful hours watching my track expand and contract:)

Soldering across any gap is difficult. Solder likes to have a continuous support, so for best results with a rigid connection, lay a wire across the gap and solder it to the rails on either side. If

Hello, James Armstrong here at nnjstevestrong@... I have a problem: one of my tracks has a small gap in one of the rails. The engine simply comes to a stop And I am notvery good at soldering.

I am trying to connect a DT-1 Detector unit to cause my DC powered crossing flashers. ?The instructions do to offer a clear path foe using with DCC. ?Any help is greatly appreciated. ?I want

Thanks Don. The operational limitations I understand. And obviously a number of practical considerations will affect individual decisions. But I am gratified to learn that there isn’t some

As I said in my original messages, the 12 tracks are switched. The expectation is that tracks which are not 'routed' via the switch ladder will not be powered.? That being said, I have a request

Bill, As long as the distances aren't astronomical, and the currents aren't extreme, I can't see any engineering principles involved here. Each reverse loop or wye having its own AR is strictly for

One consideration about one common rail connection to all those tracks is, how many trains might be moving on them at once. That single common wire is going to be carrying the sum of all motor,

I have two staging tracks on my layout. Both are in their own Power Zones. This so that if I cause a short, it doesn't shutdown the rest of the layout. JoAnn Donaldson

I believe I know the answer:? NO; it can't/shouldn't be done.? But I just wanted to confirm that it's a bad idea to attempt to wire two separate reversing segments through a single AR switching

Confirm that the frog juicer is set to trip at lower current than any circuit breaker you have protecting the overall circuit and that the frog juicer is a dual frog juicer working both rails of

I have a query on a turntable AR - I have installed a Diamond Scale Models turntable with a Tam Valley Dual frog juicer - wired as per instructions but my locos will enter/exit the approach tracks and

I had a 12 track staging yard on my last layout. I ran a 12 AWG (white) wire along each track that was routed through the detector with feeders on every rail. The other wire (black) I had a wire every

Blair, as described there is no gotcha about wiring the SECOND rail in common on all the tracks. DonV

Agreed, more feeders are better, in fact, I'm wiring a feeder per rail per section of flex.? But it's not what I was asking.? What I was asking about is: For multiple parallel tracks in a yard, fed

Ted, Marcus posted a link to the Digitrax AR1 manual.? On it, you will see the adjustment. Allan Gartner Wiring for DCC

Hi Blair, I've never heard the term sub-bus, but it's been awhile since I did any track wiring. In my understanding, a dropper connects to the rail. If your bus is close enough, you can connect it

Go to electronics stores..relays, resistors , bus bars etc. are much less expensive than RR hobby shop prices. Same goes for styrene plastics .
