And you can always program on the main, assumign your DCC system supports it - Ops Mode programming directed to a specific address, not broadcast programming that would change every loco on the layout. That way you have the full capacity of your booster available to drive the programming. <br /> <br /> --Randy <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Thanks for the info, never have done any mainline programming. anything special i should know?
