Using both TCS (Z2s) and Digitrax (163K0s) and no problems either brand. The Kato hold down clip issue solved with a touch of solder as others...

Current era Pacific NW (Seattle area actually passenger services. Modern freight runs.
When retired and finally finished with overseas living, I noted train traffic at our towns commuter station. Daily traffic included Empire...
Had similar problems with my 2x8 layout with 11" radii at the loops. Some engines would derail only the leading wheels of 6-axel diesels in only...
Wouldn't it be easier to find some sort of film to filter the "blue" source? I'd try something like Kapton tape right over the decoder's light...

Why are you doing this, again? Seriously, I'd simply unplug the daytime lights and plug in the nighttime lights. Or, use power strips and switch...
As far as scenery goes, I have zero problems because, you guessed it, zero scenery. But rolling stock breaks in their jewel boxes overnight. And...
Agree with prior posts. Amps needed determined by engines running, not track length. Power districts for shorts control. Boosters (if needed)...
Thanks, SP-Wolf... Wheels of Time, how little I know.
