Subject: [rc3r] Tom's Home Layout Update
Just for the crew, I thought I'd send out an update on my home layout.
All 24 Ross switches are wired and working. The MTH DCS Routes are programmed
and work like a champ. The double cross-over and two double slips are up and
running. The only issue there is my Lionel TMCC N&W Lionmaster A has an issue
with the double slips. The rollers aren't spanning the gap and the locomotive
is losing power over these switches. The dinky MTH H-3 Consolidation has no
problem. It just putts right across them w/o any problems.
I picked up a Lionel Great Big Button on eBay for less than $25. Works great
and the granddaughters love it. The TMCC has been tested and running. I have
also been running TMCC w/ the MTH DCS. Honestly, I like TMCC with DCS better
than with the Cab1. For the cost of a cable, we can connect the DCS on the club
layout to the Cab1L Legacy.
BIG shout-out to Bob Buehler on running Legacy with TMCC. I "thought" my sole
Legacy engine would not run on my layout w/o a Legacy Command base. Well, it
runs like a champ with the TMCC Command Base!. I have also been running it with
the DCS. These Legacy engines are neat. This thing creeps along w/ a "1"
setting on the DCS remote. I know, I know the Legacy has 200 speed steps. The
128 on TMCC isn't bad.
I need to confirm isolation on my power districts. There may be a couple of
isolation pins left to add. But, I general this thing is running.
