Model Railroading > Wiring for a Wye using DCCDate: 04/17/17 07:33 Wiring for a Wye using DCC Author: calsubd I've looked on utube but it seems everything points to a Digitrax AR 1 and Balloon tracks, I want a simple wye to turn 1 loco, I have a turntable but isn't that too much ? for the job !, TIA

Isolate (insulated rail joiners) one leg of the wye or its tail and wire it like they show for inside the loop with the other pair of wires going to the mainline. DCC makes it simple and foolproof. Use spring switches for the turnouts (simple piece of spring wire) and it's all automatic. exprail Date: 04/17/17 10:33 Re: Wiring for a Wye using DCC Author: calsubd exprail Wrote:
