    If you are ever in my neighborhood, stop by and I'll buy you a beer. I unpluged the throttle from my central DP-5 and plugged it into another one on my layout. And Presto!, I was able to hit the program button AND call up AD4. Before; trying to program AD4 was impossible. I'm like a little...

    I do not use a UR-92, I use a DP-5 panel. I will switch it out tomorrow...thanks for the reply...Quick question: can I use a non-Digitrax throttle with the DB150? To me, Digitrax is very complicated, I would like something easy-peasy

    I have been able to run 8 of 12 engines. I have to constantly reset the throttle though. The throttle also acts up when trying to program an engine. Does anyone have comments on the new Digitrax DT602 throttle...hopefully it is easier to understand. It gets aggravating trying to run trains...

    I have pressed the program button over and over again and it will not get out of Fn mode. I have tried selecting a locomotive and it will not let me select any number. I cannot select the left hand engine; but this morning I could. I cannot select any locomotive number on either the right or...

    I have shown the orange and green wires from the DB150 going straight to a 3-foot section of track. The main "Rail out" connections are not connected. the 2nd photo shows a Prose track power connection. The 3rd photo shows the known operatable engine. The last photo shows my DT402. I have hit...

    After taking a 2nd look at how small M.T. Arms Hotel is, I would have to agree. I did think about the possibilites though...BTW, the picture I posted was slightly larger than actual size. It is showing the complete, over $100 kit

    Structure Interiors

    I have an M.T. Arms Hotel on my layout, and took a 2nd look at it. It is a rather small structure for the interior set, and like migalyto states, they are a little on the expensive side...I think I would be opening a can of worms here if I opted for them. I think I will try for the photos and...

    California Model Company structures?

    Everything was going fine until it came to the front of the combination station. I just couldn't make it happen, it would look to phoney. So I have came to this. I think I will go for two different stores...don't know what they would be. The one of the left could be a Barber Shop (Don't have...
