DCC Train Automation This Chanel is here to help you with all things to do with Digital Control of Model Railways. We use iTrain software and many different brands of control electronics. I have tuition videos about many products we continue to increase this for your benefit. We explore the following brands Digikeijs, Z21, LoDi, ESU and YaMoRC also many more.
Can i distribute the ES units around the layout and just use cables and do the same thing? I need five modules total, and that seems like a good idea if possible.
@@DCCtrainautomation Thanks James, I think I'll stick with the CS version in the video instead for them all in that case, just seems easier for me then
Good stuff James. These units dim LED’s too don’t they, if too bright and wonder if 1) you can recommend companies doing UK signalling that will dim, do fades and hopefully use common positives. 2) Will these units also cater for signals that include theatre boxes and position lights? 👍
Hi James, cat you do a video on block detection please. Block sizes, do you include or exclude points, blocks within reversing loops, etc? BDL 168 verses ESU ? Any recommendations, thanks for your help !
Hi i am adding detection items as you show in one of your videos but it does not update to the main layout even though i have saved it any help would be grteat Dean.
Hi, how are you? I wanted to know if you are going to launch them here in Brazil, I'm Brazilian and I'm already in love with these strollers, do you intend to launch them here in Brazil?

How do you find laying the code 55 and how do you attach your dropper wires to it, I had a go with it when I first started and quickly changed to fleischmann
Hi I'm not very digitally minded, so just to clarify, with a yd8044 can I setup the unit without a computer, I'm only using 4 points on 1 unit, many thanks
Great explanatory video. You mentioned that the YD8116 lacks a Loconet connection and all you need is to connect a track feed to the signal power side. Not sure I understand Can you clarify ? My goal is simply have the train stop when red . I'm using Rocrail in auto mode Thanks
James thank you for the videos on YaMoRC. I was wondering if they make a board for reverse loops? I have an n-scale layout with 5 reverse loops in it and will be using Digitrax and Train Controller for my system.
Great video. My only gripe is the use of the word "car" in the packaging. It would be more accurate to use the word " vehicle". I have never seen these types of system using cars because of the obvious size restrictions to fit the motor, electronics and battery.
This unit does not have loconet. You just out a DCC track feed to the signal side and then it gets its switch commands from here. You don’t need to connect loconet for it to work perfectly.
What is a detector with AppZ21 for? For display only? Cannot reference a route. The ideal would be to be able to make routes where the signals were referenced to the position of the switches and the occupancy detectors (track circuits).
Thank you so much for this video. I have an 82 years old neighbour who uses such Intellibox. He is overwhelmed with all functions available. He asked me for support (I am not connected to this topic at all, but work in IT 😉). Is there a way to program one digital lock for a drive, let’s say lock 48 drives for 9 seconds at speed 27 in one direction, stops for 10 seconds and returns (opposite direction) again at speed 27 for 9 seconds, then stops. End of program. Appreciate any help so I can support this elderly person. Thank you 🙏🏾
That's awesome! I started with Faller car system last year, I have only magnetic road and one car from start set, but I would like add more intelligence to my road :-)
Hi James I have been watching Bob Fullers excellent vids but your vids on Speed Calibration have helped me tremendously and made things even more clearer thank you so much mate!

Where are these units drawing power from? Do you have to have the usb (?micro usb) plugged in to the Loconet unit to power them all? Cant see anywhere in the manuals about it!
I have Kato Switches #6 with the following motors. #2-503 & #2-504. Would this be the device I'd use to control these switch motors or would I require an additional component to make them work?
