Is there a good tutorial for installing a Digitrax AR-1? I contacted Digitrax and they were able to provide some info, but some of it caused a short circuit in my head. I'm using a DCS-51.
I've tried to run a single locomotive through (nothing more) and the reversed section is dead. I'm going to mess with the blue adjustment knob and see if that works. Perhaps I'll try a traditional teardrop shaped loop and see if that fixes it. If it doesn't Digitrax is going to get this thing back. Near as I can tell, everything should work. At this point, if I'm doing something wrong, it's because the Digitrax instructions suck.
Yes, That is the idea. It sounds like you are using sectional track. A 3/4" straight would be better. Generally joints are offset by 1/8" or so. Just enough so both wheels don't hit it at the same time. People are able to do that because many are using flex track rather than stiff sectional pieces.By staggering, you mean NOT putting the insulated rail joiners next together, but perhaps one at one end (left side) of a 3 inch piece (for example) and the other on the opposite end (right side)?
