I am switching gears a bit and working on another project while I continue other product development. About six months ago I started work on a...
Hi all- First post! I've gotten JMRI up and going on my Raspberry Pi. I use DCC++ on an Arduino Mega with an Arduino motor shield. My loco runs...
The N Scale railroad that I'm planning will have 24 Kato turnouts, each powered by a DPDT switch wired to a 1000 mfd capacitor and two 5mm LEDs,...
Everyone who hand lays track says the best way is to just jump in. I've been wanting to give it a go. My current layout is a Z scale variation on...
I plan to build samples of both the George Stilwell BCD Circuit and the Rob Paisley Circuit to choose which I like best to control the Kato...
I'm very new to Z scale, and back -- in general -- to model railroading, at all, since childhood. I'm just now getting my layout together and...
Hi Everyone, First off, I'd like to thank those of you who've already been extremely helpful in the beginning stages of my 2'x3' Z scale layout....
Just purchased a couple of Atlas Code 55 #5 turnouts, one each right/left (#2050/2051), to begin laying out my track, etc.. (I'm new to N scale,...
So I've been working on my new layout (DC layout, not DCC) for a while now and just got the idea that I'd like to try and make switching turnouts...
A diverging turnout at the end of a curve (left) can create a potentially troublesome S-curve. The alternative arrangement at right creates no...

Long before Kato gave us a wye, I built this one with clover house ties and a little bashing of two curved pieces.
