<p>[quote user="NP01"]</p> <p>I have a layout (still under construction) with about 50' of track laid (25 feet scenicked). I am on the Digitrax bandwagon with all switches on DCC and all sections detected (except yard ladder). </p> <p>Even though I am handy with a soldering iron and JMRI, signalling is excruciating time consuming. I have tried two methods ... One using the SMBK board from Digitrax and one with the "Signal Break Out Board" ... both involve lot of soldering </p> <p>Will anyone offer signals that can actually be plugged into a connector? I found that a telephone plug (4-wire) is perfect for single head and 6-wire workes for dual head. I wish signal manufacturers offered this ... So I could install and "plug" signals in rather than having to create connectors. </p> <p>Nothing available ... If I got a large bonus I am being tempted to hire someone to do all the signalling ... Well ... Ain't going to happen. </p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>RR-Cirkits Fan out boards might be what you are looking for. RR-cirkits even produces Loconet compatible products (See detection and signaling section on website link below) as well as LCC products.</p> <p><a href="http://www.rr-cirkits.com/description/index.html">http://www.rr-cirkits.com/description/index.html</a></p>
