Re: System One Booster failue
If you get no lights and you can measure power at the input terminals, then something has gone wrong. Although System One (Wangrow) is out of business, service can be obtained. Karl Kobel of Sys

Re: slow speed at grades
You mean other than doing like they do on the prototype - increase the throttle. SOME decoders have "back EMF compensation." This is also known as "speed compensation" and a few other similar

System One Booster failue
Our large club layout has two Wangrow dual 5 amp boosters (for a toal of 20 amps divided around the layout). These have worked flawlessly for about 4 years. They have responded to occasional

Re: Directional Differences
Stephen, Capacitors will never be responsible "directional differences." So you can forget about removing them. Also, I suspect that if Rivarossi provided a plug for a decoder they didn't intend

Directional Differences
Hello I am New to to this group I have a new Rivarossi Heisler locomotive,into which I plugged a Digitrax dz143pn decoder. In reverse it runs great,however in forward it runs poorly,it jerks along

DCC have to be controlled by computer?
Does DCC have to be controlled by a computer? Can you use a normal DC power supply and the have an encoder send the signals? How hard is it to program DCC?

Re: DCC have to be controlled by computer?
dcc doesn't have to be controlled by a computer. DCC does require a pwer supply that is DCC not DC.

Re: Dual gauge wiring for DCC
Greg, Regarding your idea for your trackwork, try asking your question on a Yahoo group on narrow gauge. I think I've seen a way for a narrow gauge track to diverge from a standard gauge track

Greg, I'm pretty well caught up with things, so I'll try to add material on dual gauge wiring this summer. I will go visit a layout with dual gauge track and see what was done or should have been

Hi, first post... Are there any references for wiring dual gauge trackage (switches) to be DCC friendly? I have a layout design where a narrow gauge line deviates from the dual gauge trackage

Re: Multiple booster power districts
Digitrax recommends "Home Ground" wiring...tying all the booster grounds together. Loconet also forms a home ground too in parallel. But it is not intended to carry any current. Without the home

You don't really need a separate booster for just the engine service / turntable area just because it is 35 ft away. Power that section with a separate bus run from the existing booster or simply
