  • A Dccconcepts “Modelling Advice” Publication
    A DCCconcepts “Modelling advice” publication DCC Advice #11 Page 1 Wiring Point-work & Special track conditions for DC or DCC Wiring the track… In plain English, with diagrams! If we had a $ or £ or € for every time we’ve been asked how to wire track and point-work, we’d be writing this on a beach somewhere while sipping a cold beer! A great layout needs good trackwork, so first - a word about trackwork and getting good performance. Choose carefully! DO think about making your own turnouts if you have even moderate skills. It is not as hard as you think, needs only basic skills and tools... and we do our best to make it easy with our top quality gauges, trackwork frets and templates. PLUS we will soon provide a detailed “How to make track” tutorial too. Interested? Then call or email us and we will do our best to help you. No matter what scale you will model in, DO NOT even consider using insulated frogs! Yes, lazy retailers who do not understand what they sell - and modellers who have never done a proper job of laying track so it runs well may well recommend it to you… but do NOT be tempted. No matter which brand makes the turnouts, if you use insulated frogs, you WILL have small locos stalling or also suffer from wider wheels bridging the frog tip and creating momentary shorts that are hard to fix and really are a source of constant frustration. Use more realistic rail sizes please: Usually this will be code 55 in N, or Code 75 and 83 in OO or HO Scale.

I MAP for March meet. am hoping that I can get my guest (the young one) to eventually be a Division member. He likes trains and I hoping to keep his interest. I got to run 2 trains. If you didn't get to run you missed out. Of course, the impressive run of the day was the over 50 car double stacks train with pushers. It left New York and ran all the way to Butler. The really impressive feat was up the hill to Mt. Jewitt and back down the other side. Great job by the engineers. Then what can I say about the great meal that NORA put on? If you walked away from there hungry... There is something wrong with you. Again thanks Nora and you too Bill. Next meeting will be at Howard Helman's. His layout, if you have never been there (and I hate to say this because Howard's head might get TOO big) models the Western Maryland and is really WHY ME ? great to operate on. Well, here we go again. To another scheduled Divi- sion meeting at Howards'. Now it's not that his Western Mary- See you next month.
