I want to isolate a siding. I am using DCC. Do I have to gap both rails or can I just gap one?

I haven't had a chance to test it out in a room with no or very little interference from lights or anything else. I'm away right now and will return on Tuesday and test it.

Thanks for all the replies. I will set it up in another room as suggested. I really want this to work because I like it. Thanks again.

There is nothing interfeering with the line of site. The lens is clean on both. It's too bad beacause I like it, but if this is the way it operates maybe I should get rid of it. I searched other posts on this topic and found one that said he has it under the table and it works, so maybe I should try that.

My dynamis loses the signal when it is more than 5 feet from the command station. The batteries are new energizer batteries. The track and the wheels of the engines are clean. Is this how it works, only 5 feet from the command station. Please help

Thanks ABC. I am now able to change directions.

I have programmed two Bachmann diesels with the dynamis. The arrow indicating the direction on the dynamis points to the left, but the engine goes to the right. How can I change this so that the engine direction is the same as the arrow on the dynamis controller.

I have programmmed a few Proto 2k switchers and a few BLI switchers, but when I try to program the Proto e6's they do not respond. The light will go on and off twice after I hit prgram but it does not move slightly like the other ones do when you hit program on the Dynamis. Is there something I am doing wrong? I have successfully programmed an E8 Proto, but no luck with the E6's. Anyone have any ideas what is wrong. Thanks

Jim, I have a question for you. I have some 3 volt grain of wheat bulbs. What size resistor should I use for them. Thanks

I don't have a 2-8-2, but I have a 4-8-2. It does have a flywheel and I feel it runs smooth.

Thanks for the help ABC and Nigel. Nigel that is exactly what I am looking for and I will call about the E7.

I need a piece for a Life Like Proto E8. It is the piece on the lower front end that the coupler goes thru. I don't know if it is called the plow or whatever. I called Walthers that owns Life Like and they said that it has been discontinued and the parts are no longer available. I really don't want to have to buy an E8 dummy just to get the part. Besides I need three of them. I bought three custom painted shells at my LHS but the bottom front was not included. He suggested calling Walthers. Anyone know of a source for them. I would rather not have to fabricate them and possibly mess up the shells. Thanks

Thanks for all the help. I will go with the paint and then sprinkle on the foam and seal with the dilluted glue.

How do I apply ground foam and what adhesive do I use. I will be applying it to plaster. Thanks
