From what I'm reading, you're trying to programme your locomotive with the address 21 (or is it 96) as a four-digit address? This will not work as Digitrax...
Tell me again, exactly, how does one turn OFF BEMF?? Trying to speed match a couple of F7's using Digitrax decoders and want to turn it off temporarily. The...

Doug, The DCC standard is so old it was acceptable to have exposed configuration variables when it was developed. However it's now twenty years after the...
Art, I'm going to agree with Marc. Those Pico turnouts are expensive! And if you thing all you have to do is buy them and nail them down, well guess again....

Alan, According to lot of peoples' educated guesses, plastic wheels usually accumulate more gunk than metal wheels, because they build a static charge that ...
If I may, a word about "DCC Compatible" turnouts. Absolutely NO turnout modification will make a turnout DCC compatible. The reason is that any turnout that...
Skip, Your are welcome. From the experiences of others and myself it would seem that you can Use Atlas code 55 and Micro Engineering interchangeably. Rick In...
The problem, generally, with BEMF, is that it can cause locomotives to basically fight one another when they are lashed up in a consist. The zero setting...
Â, I don't understand. Are you arguing symantics? or are you suggesting that others are imagining things when they have shorts in their DCC systems which are...
Scott, sorry about the "Â" salutation. When I brought it up to respond, for some reason that is how your signature appeared. I just copied and pasted....

Scott, I found your post very interesting and well said. Now, Bill made some very good points also, but I fully understand your point that beginners looking at...

I am grateful, Bill, that you have noted the short circuit issue is more quickly addressed (by a shut down) in DCC than in DC. And I am even more grateful that...
Doug, What I was eluding to, and what Scott has stated, is that if you turn BEMF back on after you speed match the decoders will by definition actively...
Is there anyone on this list using the PECO CODE 83 insulfrog turnouts? I installed a test parallel track with Peco insulfrog turnouts with all NS joiners & do...
Hi Clay. I suggest you reset the LocoNet ID after you have attached both receivers to the loconet. Then see if the throttle communicates with either. The...
Can anyone shed some light on this one? I'm perplexed. Slight mod to decoder, de-soldered rear headlight, and replaced speaker with larger .063 from Tony's...
Strange, I have sent a reply but it is lost. So one more try. Thanks all, The consist is not the problem. I use a DT402 throttle and Traincontroller Gold 7...
