Frog Juicer Question

Thu, 2018-08-16 14:11 — tabooma county rwy

I have a Frog Juicer question....  I have a Hex Frog Juicer that has all 6 positions in service.  Now I've added one more turnout in that area of the layout.

My question is, can I double up two turnouts (frogs) under one position on a Frog Juicer?

Note:  My layout is almost all industrial/urban, and as such, the likelihood of two different locos running over the two "doubled up" frogs is extremely remote.

Note #2:  I know I can buy a Mono Frog Juicer, but wondered if I could forego that and just double up two turnouts?

Hello fellow modelers!

I would like to present my version of Wolfgang Kufer DCC decoder v1.2.

Soldering station for DCC installation?

Sun, 2018-07-29 14:35 — Granger fan

I have a good many decoders to hardwire into NIB but pre-dcc era N scale diesels. A soldering station purchase seems like a good idea.

Just now fished around online for a Weller WTCPT, but not sure if it is the best for the installation work or if a less expensive station by another manufacturer is just as capable.

Much appreciate advice.

Wide area IR detection

Sun, 2018-07-29 07:09 — jpantone

Here’s my idea:

Place IR-LEDs in the layout’s lighting valence – driven, perhaps,
by a picaxe at 38kHz (the freq. used by tv remotes). This will
flood the layout with IR – but should be easy to differentiate
from background light since it’s not only IR but at 38kHz pulses.

Anyone heard from TCS lately about status of Command Station/Throttle?

I've been waiting for this and trying not to buy the ESU CabControl. 

Any updates would be appreciated.

ProtoThrottle on DCC++

Thu, 2018-07-26 13:11 — gsinos

I run my actual layout with NCE, but I built this DCC++ command station for an upcoming demo at the local NMRA division meeting.  I thought running the ProtoThrottle through the $50 DCC++ command station would be a fun way to wrap up the demo.

However, I'll keep the PT under wraps until the end of the presentation, or it will likely be the center of attention.

Here's a one minute video.
