Steal away! Most of that is bits and ends I found and worked in myself, I'm by no means a professional coder, lol. And the colors aren't perfect, but they were good enough for my tastes. You can...

I don't know any of the technical stuff like TD does, so I'd go with what he says, but here's what I did if it helps at all:...

Isn't there a setting on ESU decoders that determines if the decoder goes back to a "cold start" or keeps running as it was after a power loss? I don't have any ESU decoders myself, but I seem to...

It's usually not the camera that faces the problem of being small enough, but the accompanying power source and wireless transmission/storage and associated circuitry that's the problem. The...

Sounds like your current system is serving you pretty well, why not just add one of NCE's radio throttles and receiver, or get your current system upgraded to wireless?

If there's no export to an image format option, you can try "print to file" when you select the printer you are going to use. That should give you an image or pdf, depending on how you set it up.

Found one in storage. I thought I had several complete locos (And I might) but I couldn't find any. This one is missing some parts, but it's got the complete front truck. It's corroded slightly, so...

I think I have a few of these locos that I'll never use. Problem is, they're sitting in storage. Send me a PM to remind me, and I'll see if I can find them next time I'm in there.

Might be worth a shot to get in touch with NCE, they might be willing to let you buy a few RJ12 connectors off of them, or at least tell you where they get them. Don't know if they're affected by the...

Your post seems to imply that you are trying to run it l the loco on the programming track. If that is the case, try running it on the main first, you normally can't run trains on the programming...

I believe the DCC++ crowd was trying something similar a while back. Don't know what the results were, but might be worth looking to see if you can find any info from them.

PW's still alive and kicking, another very busy man. I talk to him fairly regularly.

There is the NSN shop where you can get some goodies.

Wow, you've got a lot more skills in the computer programming world than I do, lol! I only know a little of Arduino code, I just copy/pasted the code others wrote for my DCC++ unit.
It's fairly well...

Are you any good with computers? The DCC+ is simply built using an Arduino and a motor shield, but it does need a computer to set up and run. More of a DIY solution, but can be built for very low...

Looks to me like the MRC Prodigy Explorer is a low cost system with very limited capability that cannot read CV's back. You would likely need a more advanced system to be able to read back CV's.

Does Mouser still send out the 3 inch thick paper catalogs? I loved browsing through those back when I had time to do cool projects that required ordering stuff from them.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but why does it need to go to zero? I'm guessing you're trying to make it auto record the truck's weight?

Also, when you get this finished, I'd love to see a...

I think what nicki6 is referring to is that on diesel locomotives, there is no mechanical connection between the engine and the wheels as it is in your automobile. Instead, the engine runs a...

Guessing you're remembering the locally famous Rudy's for fish dinner. Oh yeah! :yum:
Bev's is the ice cream stand next door, best place for ice cream in town, my favorite is the strawberry...

Who, me? Yes. About 20 minutes from me, actually play with a community band there every summer.

Edit: updated my location to be closer to my actual location, moved twice locally since I put that...

2.5 hours from me. A bit far to be practical, and a direction I'm almost never in for other reasons... But if you get something going, might be able to drop by on occasion. Best of luck! :)

Been following along, and I'm getting a sneaking suspicion that either your programming track is not connected correctly, or there's an internal fault with the DCS50. If I'm understanding what you're...

Are the white and yellow lines intentionally switched, or are there places where the white lines are in the center of the road, and yellow at the sides?

In all the places I've driven in the...
