Satisfying Decoder Instalation

Just completed a decoder install in my Kato N scale 2-6-2 Mikado. I found the new Digitrax  DZ 126 T a great decoder for this purpose. The install in the boiler is not simple but very doable. Plenty of space can be created and wiring poses no problems. Even this tiny decoder has transpondering which I require for Surroundtraxx. Attached is a photo of the little beast. I yet have to add a vestibule all weather cab as I model Canadian Pacific. This I purchased from Miniatures by Eric. Can't wait to finish a complete detail.

Walthers cornerstone crossing signals, install

I searched for info on installing these crossing lights. Seems walthers only had these made for their DC detection circuit. Has anyone installed them on a DCC layout? I will be supplying a seperate DC supply and not track power. All help appreciated. thanks. Tom 

Bachrus speed matching?

I remember an article where they used one of these speedometers to help speed match trains. I now see they have one for decoder pro. I can see where it would speed up the process. Has anyone eve used this method before?

Custom DCC Throttle Holder KIT

 
Found it on EBAY, precision laser cut hardboard/masonite, glue together and paint. Allows FULL access to all Digitrax Buttons without taking the throttle out of the pocket.  Nice product.  Only $3.00 and comes in two models for Digitrax, engineer and full size.  Other DCC brands supported as well.

Conductive glue

Has any one used this adhesive? I have a ME turnout that my frog led has come off ( poor solder joint). I can reach the solder pad on the ME from under the layout, ply and foam, I'm trying to avoid a tearout on the top side of my yard. Any help appreciated.
