I have converted a couple of Bachmann push button turnouts to NCE Snap-it boards. I must be missing something in the programming sequence. I am certain that the boards are wired correctly, but, cannot figure out how to get them programmed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all.

I recently acquired an Atlas Gold MD15 switch engine with ESU LocSound installed.  The engine looks good and sounds good.  It crawls along right out of the box!  The only issue I have with it is that it tends to die on turnouts (almost as if there is only one set of pickups, which I would be surprised to find).  None of my other engines are having this problem.  My track is pretty clean, and I am a fan of rubbing graphite on the rails.  My turnouts are Atlas #4s (I know, I know, but they were on hand).  I've never tried a keep-alive, and am wondering i

Find so much discussion about how to make turnout DCC friendly and especially old Shinohara turnouts, I have modified this pictures as a basic schematic for gaps, jump wire , and powering of frog and points.

Just ask to know if it's a good schematic or if you have remarks because I would share this schematic for help on the forum.

Thanks for your remarks,

The picture of a Shinohara turnouts show how I think to do it.

Hi. I was just wondering if you can program for example a cab light that will automatically turn off when locomotive starts moving, and when locomotive stops ( speed 0) the cab light will turn on . I am using mrc sound decoder. I do know how to program basic light functions but I can't find anything online about more advanced light programming . Thank you for any advice
