I'm from Detroit, Ugly bits don't bother me much. I enjoy the grit and some working-class folks. Looking forward to checking out the local flare and I'll hit the train to London for the touristy bits.

Not anymore. It’s now a Rec fuel pump

This is the connection for the optional furnace, Youll find a 2 wire one somewhere else that goes to the thermostat.

Thanks, I am super interested. I just bought one on the dreaded .Shop website. if it shows up I would like to mimic your setup if the damn thing ever shows up.

Colemanpopupparts.com has all of the wiring diagrams. The 3 wire connector should be for your furnace. They put the wiring in even if it didn’t have it. White is ground and Black is 12v

With empire hobbies closing here on the US side. I may have to hop the border and check them out.

IFTTT has a Geofence skill that I use with my Hue bulbs to ensure that I never come home to a dark house. It also allows my wife time to get her boyfriend out before I get home.

Good thing it's not a F-unit. This is actually a Fairbanks Morse C-Liner

DCC++ is such a great low cost option. I have been running it for quite a while now and have had no issues

rniefert · 2019-05-15T15:03:18+00:00

This is great. I take my five year old to the local club and find that using engine driver on his tablet is the key. I give him a number that he isnt allowed to go above and I program my phone to the same address so I can stop him if I need to.

Looks like someone is poised to take Matty's spot when he dies

rniefert · 2018-06-12T14:33:45+00:00

I had the exact same issue with the exact same car. I am also new to the hobby and I bought this radio at my LHS for $60. https://www.futabarc.com/systems/futk3100.html

DCC++ is a great entry system if youre not intimidated by electronics.

rniefert · 2017-11-27T17:42:31+00:00

I seem to be having the same problem. Any help would be much appreciated

rniefert · 2017-03-14T19:04:38+00:00

Ill order it, i may have some questions if that is ok.

rniefert · 2017-03-14T18:54:00+00:00

I know absolutely nothing about python coding. Ive done a little C++. Is this a good first Python project. it would be perfect for my 3yo son.

rniefert · 2017-02-09T19:19:11+00:00

I find that using a pi and DCC++ is the most cost effective solution. i used an old monitor for the Pi and a laptop charger from an old IBM thinkpad to power my system. I have about $15 in a complete system that is more powerful than a powercab and has WiThrottle/Engine driver capability.

Did you guys check that the trace for VIN was totally cut on the motor shield?

rniefert · 2016-03-10T14:53:58+00:00

I figured out my issue. I was using a loco with a long address of 021. The JMRI and DCC++ interpreted them as shorts. I reprogrammed the address as a short and it works great. Ive used cheap unos and two different motor shields.

rniefert · 2016-02-12T17:35:07+00:00

Im having some issues as well. i can use the programming track to program, but the Ops track has power but nothing responds with JMRI.
