 Just let us know which plan you built. Many of us have that book and can look at it. You're just going to need some insulating joiners or gaps if it's simply a crossover. Some of the plans in 1010 Track plans show this, since most of the plans are fromt he days when turnouts were all power routing - gaps for short protection are still needed with DCC< just like DC.

Dcc wiring
Posted by dougedw4 on Wednesday, October 15, 2014 10:17 AM

I am having a shorting problem. Layout from 101 track plans, Shinohara switches and track, bus wiring.

When crossover activated Dcc shorts.

I would like to send my track plan to someone who can advise.

I would expect to pay for this service.

Thank you

Doug Edwards
