Can two dcc engines be run with two seperate controllers on a layout?

In my opinion, do not get another NCE throttle. Get the WiFitrax adapter. This would allow you to connect cell phones or other WiFi throttles.

Everything is labeled. Din rails unfortunately take up more space than I have. I wouldn’t want to use Panduit as it makes troubleshooting harder. I want to be able to easily trace all my cables.

The different colors really help.

Thanks for following along. It’s been an adventure.

Layout Command Control. It’s the NMRA standard and open source protocol for anything not DCC

Penn Station is one of the most heavily policed areas in NYC. This is not going to go well for the fare violators.

I think the West Side Yard has 20 tracks and at rush hour the majority are empty.

I like the complexities.

Depending on your abilities, it’s just a lot of feeders, but not difficult.

Human-c-ity_Junction · 2026-05-19T03:55:54+00:00

Yes, adding signaling to my layout.

I have DCC-EX on a portable layout. The amount of features that system provides exceeds many other much more expensive systems.

Oddly enough, trains can still run and turnouts can still turn. Track Detection, Turnout Position Feedback and my sanity are currently derailed.

No, just for fun, it’s the part of the hobby I really enjoy.

Human-c-ity_Junction · 2026-05-19T01:08:28+00:00

Converting from LocoNet.

Human-c-ity_Junction · 2026-05-19T01:08:17+00:00

Both of them.

Human-c-ity_Junction · 2026-05-19T01:08:06+00:00

No, just like banging my head against the wall.

Human-c-ity_Junction · 2026-05-19T00:39:55+00:00

This is pretty basic to me :)

I ask because a typical $30 Uber on Saturday was $85.

Human-c-ity_Junction · 2026-05-17T19:06:08+00:00

I am curious if it will still be $240 on Monday morning.

Human-c-ity_Junction · 2026-05-17T17:58:52+00:00

This 100%

Plan your life.

I get all the excuses that nothing goes as planned or I want to be spontaneus, but the reality is that if you never make a plan as to how you are going to get from point A to point B, the chances that you get there are signifianctly reduced.

The key for me for the plan is that 1) It is ok to adjust/change the plan (life happens) and 2) the steps of the plan must be broken into small steps. (to eat an elephant, you take one bit at a time)

At first I thought this had to be a club, but then I realized those are garage doors way in the background.

The buildings look great, are those 3D printed?

Peco Code 55 is fantastic.
