Actually, it does not have to talk to Loconet to perform auto reversing. If the TTX also offered detection or other functions, then the Loconet connection...
Brad, I have been following this thread for a couple of days now and I would like to point a few things from my point of view. 1) The PM42 is a multipurpose...
The short answer is No. The side connector on the UP 5 is only a Throttle connection. The loconet can only work through the two rear connectors. Bob Wintle ...
Actually the DB150 is behaving normally; it cannot do service mode programming and run the layout together at the same time. So put it into program mode, and...

I should have said that the DB150 does not have separate programming TRACK outputs. You set the throttle to programming made and program on the main. Ken ... ...

Hi group, well, my PM4 problems are solved. Since I have Decoder Pro, I decided to connect the PM4 to the Loconet to see what was happening. Since Decoder Pro...
You can often find 6-wire flat cable with connectors at your local Best Buy/Circuit City/Radio Shack as well as on-line. It is typically referred to a...
Ken, As stated above, the UP5 side connector (as well as the two front connectors) are for throttles only. For general Loconet branching, you can use a series...
I use a PM42 as a reversing unit and to split up the output of a DCS200 into two power district. I am planning to add a DB200 at a later state, at which I...
A friend of mine went to a club he was a member of until he moved to run some trains. The club has an "N" scale layout and a "HO" scale layout. He was there to...

They did not provide an explanation; Digitrax just sent new cards the first time and sent the PM42s the second. We did like the ability to subdivide booster...
Hi, Lately there have been some strange things happening on my layout: Last night after parking a train and unplugging the DT400, about a minute later that...
Sounds suspiciously like you have 'stolen' the address from another throttle - even if it is the same DT-400, but from the other knob.... You could clear the...
I've had some similar anomalies accruing on my layout. I've had several trains in my staging yard runaway with the power to the track off. The last time it...
Ted/Ted: ... This sounds like a broken/misconnected loconet wire... If you haven't already, check the UP-3 (and all other jacks) with a LT-1 and make sure all...
All, I have a Richmond Controls gyralite module and want to incorprate it with my decoder. Would I wire it to the front headlight lead of my decoder?...
Hello all from a newbie to the list, I just bought four of the plastic-shaft encoders from Digi-Key about three weeks ago. They work fine, but are a bit stiff...
I have several European style locos in which the decoder is visible through the cab windows. Is it possible to paint or place tape over the decoders to reduce...
