So we're all familiar with my stance on the present buttonry and boondoggles already on the market.  They're the epitome of 1989 technology, and even then, the technology was 10-20 years old.  AKA, it's obsolete, the technology is practically an antique.  When I see manufacturers investing money into things like the new DT402R series, I groan.

How do you restart a DCC loco which has stopped at a signal without doing it manually? I think I read somewhere about switching sig. track to DC currant while train is stopped then back to DCC power when signal turns green. Can somebody please assist. If DC currant is applied then at what voltage?

Hi Folks

I need some advice on my first foray into DCC Sound.

I have an Ho Mantua 2-6-6-2 Logging Mallet (tender version) which is in the process of being super detailed.

I want to fit DCC sound and very much like the look of Soundtraxx Tsunami. Question is, for a small articulated should it be the medium or heavy steam version?

I have some questions on wiring a 4-8-4 bachmann, Im thinking of putting the pc board from a spectrum in the tender and wiring the loco that way. it seems most n steam decoders are in the tenders   I.m also curious about some good guides for ding this pretty inexperienced but have electrical knowledge any input is appreciated.  I alos have some model power engines that need lights wired considering a backup as well, all in time.
