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 H-bridge driver so you can
use a single motor port to control the track...
Sometimes I hate being stuck up here in Owen Sound. Maybe if any
of you pass through on the way to Tobermory or Sauble Beach you
could stop in and say hi? :-)

| (...) 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)
