 | | DCC party? —Derek Raycraft
|
| | | Are we going DCC for NMRA? I'm willing to convert two of my train motors to DCC if we are going to do DCC for NMRA. I will however need help making the conversion. I've done a little soldering but I'm not super comfortable with electronics. (...) (21 years ago, 7-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | Is anyone willing to sell/lend me a DCC capable train chassis and a small track circle? Mark emailed me the driver for the DCC and I'll be wedging it into pbForth along with the servo driver. I'm also planning to start limited production on an (...)

| | | | | | | (...) Track circle is not a problem. I have one decoder, but post NMRA you can borrow it. How long do you need it (...) So basically you`re building a DCC booster. Cool! We could really use one for NMRA with all the track, distance and engines we`re (...) (21 years ago, 7-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | | Hey Ralph, you're in luck (I think)--I'll be in Owen Sound tomorrow for business. If you have an RCX (really? You do?) I'll bring up 16 curve pieces plus motor. I'll need the motor back for July 18th for the train show, though. Do you have the track (...) (21 years ago, 7-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | | Hey, stop on by and we can go out to lunch. I'm at 313 2nd Avenue East. That's towards Harrison park on the main street, and it's on your left as you go south. Give me a call (519) 376-6885 and we can arrange things. I can probably buy a DCC (...) (21 years ago, 7-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | | I'll be at the Laidlaw branch at the outskirts of town. It may be a big upgrade so I might be there all day and have no time for lunch (that's how it usually works, anyway) but after I'm done, I'll be either driving to Port Elgin or crashing in a (...)

| | | | | | Give me a call later in the day then. We have some company on Wednesday night, but we can probably squeeze another person in. I don't have time right now to do the DCC thing, so if you can lend me one after the show, that's fine. On the other hand, (...) (21 years ago, 7-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | (...) I'm all set for DCC I've downloaded the boosters and such from Mark's page and have tested 'em, but I only have 1 AC capable RCX. I think we'll need at least 3 for the layout--1 for each loop. We'll also need the 5 cm gap pieces to separate (...) (21 years ago, 7-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

THe other RCX's can be completely embedded into the layout--they need a track wire coming from the primary (...) (21 years ago, 7-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | (...) K, tested the new firmware of Marks in 2 RCX's--one 'master', one 'slave'. Used the lamp bricks as the resistor as well. Works mighty impressive. My problem is I only have 1 AC RCX right now so the slave was running off of batteries. I can see (...) (21 years ago, 7-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains)

So far it's easy to drive, has all the power I'd want out of it, and is nicely built. Major highlights were: Honda's quality (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

The new Corolla/Camry are aimed at a younger crowd. I think you should (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

It won the "2002 Women's Automotive Good House Keeping (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
