Atlas Master series loco light bulb recomendations
Looking for recommendations (size, rating and source) for an Atlas HO Master/Silver series diesel locos forward and reverse bulb. I'm looking for direct one for one replacement of the grain of wheat style lights. NOT looking to switch led at this time. Here is a picture of the current one barely glowing (below)
Thanks

Power Districts & Safety Curcuit Breakers
I have a wireless NCE system I intend to install on my double deck HO layout. I don't imagine I will be running any more than 4-5 trains at anyone time, and likely it will only be 2 most of the time. There will likely be some double-headers, or even some push-pull.
With a 5amp power supply most recommended by NCE I don't think I will need additional boosters?
More DS64's
With the alterations to track work completed for the entrance to the Shippensburg Classification Yard, it was time to connect another DS64 for the operation of the Tortoise Switch Machine servicing the two yard leads & yard ladder.
Need help with JMRI
I just received my brand new Rapido Trains n scale Dash 8-40cm with ESU loksound. I have been trying to run it on JMRI with my dcc++ base station. I have been able to do some basic programming and have added it to my roster but, unfortunately, when I select it and enter the throttle I cannot get it to respond at all. I have also tried the Engine Driver app but still have no control. This is my first time using JMRI and I have no idea what the issue could be.
Bridge Rectifiers
Hi
Someone suggested to me that instead of using Resistors and diode and Zener diodes in constructing a keep alive I use a bridge rectifier attached to the Super Capacitors.
Any body want to weigh-in on this idea?

Decoders
Hello
Does anyone have experience with adding a Stay Alive to a Digitrax decoder DH165A0 that has a SFX006 Sound Bug attached? If yes please tell me where the blue and black wires are soldered to?
Thanks

Battery Operated Trains, Nuclear Diamond Battery technology
I know this subject has come up on the forum on several occasions, but I never paid much attention to it, nor do I recall how the subject conversation was titled. .....the idea that we could have battery powered model trains, free from track power.
I was reading my mail today, and this item caught my attention,
