 26.09.2018 It's autumn already. The outside temperature went down by a lot and there's no denying, the garden season is over. It's time to go back to indoor activities. In my case this means working on my new… |
 22.08.2018 The product I'm going to write about today is definitely the deal of the year. For less than 300 Euro, Trix has decided to provide us with a complete digital starter pack. And it not only includes a… |
 23.07.2018 The Piko Taurus locomotive in G-scale I bought earlier this year is without any doubt a very good product. A conversion to DCC and adding sound functionality made the model even better and allowed me… |
 27.06.2018 Decision to run your trains under digital control often doubles the price of adding a new locomotive. It is expensive, but in my opinion, it's definitely worth the money. The ease of control and the… |
 15.05.2018 My large scale locomotive fleet is growing at a steady pace. This year it was expanded by two new models, one of which is Piko V36 engine. And since I'm running all my trains under DCC protocol, the… |
 14.01.2018 Converting Tomix cleaning car to DCC control is not really a big deal. A lot of people have done it, and many of them have shown their results on the Internet. I'm joining the club now. My conversion… |
 03.01.2018 I have to admit I wasn't running my G-scale trains as often as I wanted to during the last season. Reasons aside, one of the consequences was a dirty track which caused some of the rides not to be as… |
 10.07.2017 My garden layout was always supposed to be fully DCC controlled. After putting money into my digital setup and the locomotives (here and here), the next step was enabling the handling for rail-track… |
 07.04.2016 My plan for this year is to really grow my G-Scale layout. I'm talking here longer track, more trains, switches with remote control, etc. This is not only going to cost, it's also going to need more… |
 29.03.2016 I have previously found a way to measure the DCC track voltage using a home made meter. This method has worked for me for some time now - it's reliable and very easy to use. But how about something… |
 07.03.2016 I have received the set shown below around two months ago. Once I saw how small the elements were I got scared and decided to postpone the installation. But finally I've gathered enough courage and… |
 28.06.2015 After the successful installation of the DCC decoder on my first G scale locomotive (described here), the time has come to install the sound module and bring some more life to my train. I again… |
 21.06.2015 In my previous post I described a simple home-made meter that can be used for a proper measurement of the DCC voltage. There are two reasons why you may need to take that measurement:
your voltage… |
 12.06.2015 DCC is - to a large extent - a plug'n'play system. You simply assign an address to a locomotive and you're ready to go. And the equipment from different manufacturers is compatible, so usually… |
 03.06.2015 I knew very, very well that my G scale train would be going DCC rather sooner than later. That's why I've made my reservation for the decoder at MSL already some time ago and waited for it to… |
 06.04.2015 My N-scale layouts have been running DCC for some time now. The experience is so much superior to analogue control that my G scale layout is going to be DCC controlled, too (sooner or later). At the… |
