Digitrax booster phase convention
I am busy getting my layout ready for the upcoming NMRA convention here in Portland and just connected up a new power district. The existing one has an older Zephyr, which I will retain as the layout's command station, and the new district has a DB 150 booster that I just got from "The DCC Shop" ( my go to source for DCC and track because of low price and outstanding service).
What size wire?
Hi,
I have a Kato SD40-2 loco with damaged wires which I need to replace from truck pickup to the Soundtraxx decoder , can anyone suggest the correct wire size.
Soundtraxx uses 28 awg but I am having a hard time finding any.
Any recommendations for wire size and where to purchase small quantities, as I do not need 100' rolls!
Thanks for help in advance.
ESU LokProgrammer Help
I have been installing a Loksound Select Direct Decoder into an Atlas GP 38.
To assist with this I decided to buy the ESU Loksound Programmer.
The decoder install was straightforward but I am having one or two problems with getting the right functions to work on the right buttons (using a Digitrax DCS100 & DT402 Throttle).
Track voltage DCC
I changed the track voltage from HO 16v to O/G 20v on my Digitrax system. All locos except one work fine. One with a DH121 decoder will not move. Headlight blinks but no go. Switched back to 16v and works fine, back to 20v, lights blink, no go. Any ideas? I am in O scale and would like to increase track voltage.
Part 2: N-scale Engine Project to Create a DCC Ready Santa Fe style 4-8-4 Northern
This is a continuation of my current DCC engine project. The project goal is to merge the looks of the N-scale Bachmann 4-8-4 Northern (Santa Fe style) with the DCC ready guts of an N-scale Con-Cor 4-8-4 GS4 (Rail Baron series). The first part of this project was in the second portion of my Layout Update Mid-May 2015 YouTube video.
