Re: Seeking reversing section input
Nick, OK, I see now how you can go thru the same piece(s) of track in two directions - but always running forward.? Those pieces are from A to B.? If you are on 'the loop' (the track that is C,D,E,F

Re: question on a BD20
Bob, It sounds like you have a bunch of things going on. There are a number of things I recommend that very few people want to do. 1. Double gap everything. Electrically it USUALLY isn¡¯t necessary;

Re: question on a BD20
Thanks for the reply, Allan. The reversing section and A ¨C G have separate busses going to different circuit breakers, a psx-ar and a psx. As far as I can tell, there is no electrical connection

Re: Seeking reversing section input
Thank you, Tim. I'm trying to understand your recommendation. I do have two existing PSX-ARs I can re-use. Are you suggesting eliminating the two turnouts altogether, or simply ending the reversing

Re: question on a BD20
Hi Bob, Is your BD-20 before the PSX-AR?? If so, that is your problem.? The PSX-AR draws a little bit of power all the time and will cause the BD-20 to show the block as being occupied. If you are

Re: Do any track power boosters have a phase control input?
Don This goes back to my question midsummer, "does anyone know of a solid state DPDT reverser that can be controlled externally?", because I have a large section(but not large enough to be served by a

Re: Do any track power boosters have a phase control input?
Jerry, I agree lighting isn't that important, although I'd like to have it. Two other concerns: * My old Athearn passenger cars all came with wheelsets having one metal wheel and axle, and one plastic

Al this may or not be new, but you may want to include it in the wiring peco Unifrog turnout section. ?The peco Unifrog has a wire to power the frog. ?The wire is not insulated and it is located

Re: Spacing between NCE BD20 detectors
Thomas, I¡¯m new to all of this. The terminology I¡¯m familiar with for powering track is main bus and feeds. Will the BD20 work properly with a feed where there are multiple feeds off of a main

Re: Spacing between NCE BD20 detectors
Notice what Alan said, ALL power for the track in the block must go through the BD20. I have three BD20 on the same module, about 3" apart on separate mainlines. Two work like a charm, one is always

Re: Do any track power boosters have a phase control input?
Thanks, Blair. That seems like a solution. I'll have to reread the EasyDCC booster instructions. I think it says not to swap the two DCC signal pins to the booster. I don't know why that would be, if

Re: Do any track power boosters have a phase control input?
