I'm looking at my turnouts, and remote controls for them. But I have a couple of places where two turnouts are functionally coupled, and create a...
These .01uf capacitors were added to several Tortoise turnout motors on my layout to suppress motor brush noise. This noise in the form of spikes...
Hey all, The last time I needed to buy some switches, the Peco Insulfrogs were still plentiful, and I've just been deconstructing and...
I just purchased a R078 double crossover. When I connect it to power it only switches the the two turnouts on the side where the electrical wire...
While in UK I purchased a PECO N gauge right hand turnout plus two pieces of connecting track. The three were supposed to fit together, although I...
I’ve posted a couple of new videos dealing with installing Peco turnouts. The first video demos how to prepare your Peco turnout for installation...
I plan to use turnouts on my DCC-enabled layout. What power do I apply to the frog? It should be DCC digital signals, with the polarity reversed...
How to install a turnout DCC decoder and a Tortoise slow motion switch. Two videos in one! [MEDIA]
Hi! I try to build a DCC++ system with Roco elements. I have Arduino Mega, Arduino Motorshield, 4 locos, and some Roco turnouts. Everything is...
Question? I have Green Tortoise switch machines and an MRC prodegy advance2 DCC system, with HO Peco electrofrog 83 turnouts. What accessory...
Looking for frog juicers and turn out controllers (using tortoise) compatible with MRC Prodigy Advance squared. Also circuit breakers and any...
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...
