DCC - Electrical
TCS T1 or D13SRJ ???
I'm finally jumping into DCC.
So, T1 or D13SRJ?
I need at the very least head light and mars light ability (I model D&RGW), so can the second function (reverse light) of the T1 mimic mars lights? The D13SRJ's can, but the TCS site isn't very informative.
Or is the advantage of auto BEMF on the T1's worth the lack of functions (assuming I'm aiming for the basic decoder here)?

MRC PC Interface and Windows 8... What Am I Missing Here?
Hi All,
So I recently purchased a new computer with Windows 8 and I wanted to use my MRC wireless PC interface with it, which worked well on my Windows 7. I Installed the drivers for the interface and the MRC program. I made sure that my computer recognized the interface. However, the program did not recognize the interface, giving an error message tat no USB connection is found. Does anyone out there know how to alleviate this? Thanks.
RR Challenger sound decoder
Hi all,
I have a Rivarossi 4-6-6-4 locomotive and I'd like to add a sound decoder to it.
A friend is offering ma an ESU Loksound V.4 decoder at a good price, and he could also load the sound file for me, but on the ESU website they only have the Big Boy sound file, not the specific one for the Challenger.
Are the BigBoy sounds so much different than the ones of a Challenger?

R/C Plus Battery Power
I think we need another category in the 'Post Category" of "R/C-B Electrical" since it looks like this is getting popular.
Here's an almost plug-n-play R/C Battery powered system from Australia. I always ask myself why is it always over seas companies that produce things like this? http://www.rcs-rc.com/

Temporary Wire management
While I'm wiring under my layout I want to keep everything neat and organized. When I'm done I use cable ties, but while it is a work in progress I still want things kept kind of together.
SPROG 3 odd behavior
I just got a SPROG 3, and was excited to get it up and running. However, I had some problems reading a decoder. Usually came up Mfr 255 version 255, sometimes it would come up with other values. Tried a different engine -- that I knew was already programmed -- same thing.
