Anyone else on here running a CML Electronics DSS1 LocoShuttle. I just hooked mine up yesterday and want to share thoughts and questions. Thanks, MM

I am interested in how it works. I am looking at those and would like a little info... How hard is it to set up etc?
For those that are very electronically adept not an issue. For those that had electronics classes back in Junior High waaaaaay back in the late 70s, let's just say it was one step at a time.
A huge thank you to Chuck at LogicRail for his input. Up until I emailed him he had never heard of it. Chuck took the time to learn about it and walk me through the setup using his signal animators as the sensors.
Works great now and for my 8ft spur up to the brewery it's wonderful. I was hoping to find someone here who uses one and would assist me in programming a new sequence. After the one minute pause I want to have two toots of the whistle on the start. Pretty flexible piece.
I'd be happy to share what I learned if you buy one and for the other parts needed email Chuck at Logic Rail. Total cost for everything needed ~$165.00 and that includes the LocoShuttle itself.

Thanks for the reply. A local HS that I go to actually carries them and deals with them. Currently they are out of stock. I was told they are waiting for the price to go down. ( currency exchange )
I didnt know you could have it control sound too. That's nice.
I would like to incorporate the controller on my subway layout.
Thanks
A subway layout would be the ideal app being that there are multiple stops and sounds.
I'm interested in hearing from anyone that is using these.
My plan is to run three separate tram cars on different lines but coming together at a central station, each on a separate platform. The layout is Garden Railway in G gauge.
Has anybody got a list of what each programing step can do, ie the instructions that can be entered.
Hi,
I do hope that you were able to get somewhere with the DSS1 LocoShuttle which was produced by CML electronics in the UK ( out of business now ) but still produced by another UK company . Like you my plan was to simply run a G scale single line shuttle and so I got the LocoShuttle and according to instructions connected it to my Digitrax command station and did the feedback connections using the Digitrax BD4 module .But it did not work as hoped only running erratically
Have you had any success with it hopefully ? Thanks
