SX 64 baby! (URL) after 20 years, I finally got my hands on one! When I'm in a particularly jaunty mood, I go out and buy something totally wrong, but oh so right for me... Did I need it?

All these polarity-switching solutions presume only 1 train. If you've got 3 trains, and each of them is hitting a block boundary at the same time, you're going to have a short no matter what you do. Best solution for DCC is to get your insulated (...) (21 years ago, 3-Jun-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains)

(...) Going to try that tonite--I own only 4 loco motors, and 3 are now converted to DCC. Hopefully I'll get my hands on about 3-4 more motors and convert 'em. But tonight I'll run 2 motors on one engine on one DCC channel and test that. I think it (...) (21 years ago, 3-Jun-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains)

(...) An easy solution to this is to have two locomotives in the train, each tuned to the same DCC channel. If one loco loses communication, the other will push it through the bad spots... That probably why real trains have two locos, right? :) (...) (21 years ago, 3-Jun-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains)
