Most mfgs do a pretty good job of maintaining documentation for older stuff available online. This helps folks on the used market, those who've lost their manuals, or - like me -- have saved them someplace "safe" and thus can't find them right now.
Digitrax lists docs for their current production items here: http://www.digitrax.com/support/manuals/
Note that at the top of that page is the link to another page that has all the docs for discontinued items.

Thanks Mike, funney I didn't even realize the soundtraxx ptb100 was part of the pics, really is the least of my issues but I did save the link.
Kind of wondering if the versions of these components documentation is even available now its been so long and what I see on there sites is all new to me.

Lynn,
I'm an NCE user, so not much help with the Digitrax stuff. You can probably go to their website and go to their product info page and search for the product name/number and get manuals, set-up instructions, etc from there.
The one thing I can help with is in the very first pic, the PTB100. That's a Soundtraxx programming track booster to use when programming sound decoders. It boosts the programming track power just enough to program sound decoders, but not enough to fry things if a short is detected. More info here: http://www.soundtraxx.com/access/ptb100.php
So before xmas I decided to tear down the old layout and start a new with an added room and a new plan. I have the track laid and the track feeders soldered in. I have the following to reinstall with no experience other what I struggled through back in 2006 when I hooked everything up successfully on the old layout. I;m modelling HO scale.
This is what I have SCF8 Super Chief 5 amp- 1 AHD-PS2 two controls, two power districts , I think its called a power shield- 2 OGAR auto Reverser s- a bunch of Cir-800-6000 Tortoise switch machines- 2 Hares ver 1 , these slide onto the tortoise switch machines- bunch of DS64 Stationary Docoders for the tortoise switch machines
I'm sorry but I really don't recall much if I had to put gaps in the tracks for the hares or autoreverses or what, really confused here. I do recall though in the lower staging yard the Y turnout would auto throw when a train approached it , there was also a reverse loop down there as well as a reverse loop up on the main level that I must have had the second autoreverser connected to. Can you's DCC guru's help me to get over these hurtles so I can move on please? I also attached the track plan and the components to hopefully help in identification as I bought these in 2006, perhaps it will help.
Thanks Lynn
