DCC - Electrical
Signalling on the N&AC
My general Blog on the N&AC has some preliminary information on my signal system. I am using C/MRI with two S-MINI nodes, DCCODs, and Oregon Rails signals. I am driving all of that with JMRI Panel Pro. I am also using Digitrax DCC, but the signal system is separate and would work with any train control setup.
Toggle Switch/Push Buttons for NCE Button Board
Looking at using the NCE Switch 8 Mk2 and the button board. What kind of toggle switch have you found to work best and/or what kind of push button have you used?
Progressive Rail in N Scale
Slowly building N Scale version of Progressive Rail in a 19" by 72" space. This railway is based on a prototype, and an article that appeared around 2002 in Model Railroader, which was designed for HO scale.
The goal is to use code 40 rail, and hand laid turnouts throughout the entire scene. Another goal is for this layout to fit in my camper, so I have something to work on at night when I travel and go camping.

Bi-color LEDS
I am going to use red/green bi-color LEDs for short-circuit indication for a reverse loop. Using track voltage and 20 ma, I need 560 ohms at 1/4 watts. Do I need to divide the resistance and put half on each leg of the led?
