DCC Power Bus LocoNet Proximity
My planned layout has extended sections of benchwork that are 6, 9 and 12 inches in depth.
If I run the main powerbus close to the back wall, will there be an issue with the LocoNet cable running along the fascia? (Power bus likely 14ga)
Thanks in advance.

JMRI + PR3 = DCC system?
Somebody told me the other day that a Digitrax PR3 (XTRA), hooked up to a computer running JMRI, was all I needed to run DCC on a small layout. I've been looking into a SPROG 3 (plus laptop with JMRI) for upgrading my Husher Central layout from a DC power pack, but the PR3 seems like a less-expensive and better-available option -- if it works... (Edited: I had mistaken the SPROG II for the SPROG 3.)

Could use some electrical help on DCC & Auto reverser modules.
Could use some electrical help on DCC & Auto reverser modules.
Am building this WYE and using the wye at Reno Junction, Ca as the prototype. Just not too sure which legs to isolate for a reverser? Have three Tortoise machines and two DPDT switches to run them.
All legs go around the room.
Thanks RJ
NCE PwrCab + USB/JMRI + Cab04p
Dear MRH Luminaries, NCE and JMRI brainstrust,
T- 36 hours til my current project layout debuts at it's first show. While I've had the PwrCab rig for a while, this is it's first "use in anger", esp at a public show. I've checked both NCE and JMRI documentation, but hope someone can shed some light.
The issue as follows:
PwrCab + USB/JMRI interface = OK (both PwrCab and EngineDriver throttle active and responsive)
PwrCab + Cab04p = (both PwrCab and Cab04p active and responsive)
PwrCab + USB/JMRI + Cab04p = laggy/intermittent response from the Cab04p
