Do it all the time. The only comfort I get is that, like yourself, I am at least consistent in the naming Brendan

I use Anderson powerpoles between boards and most everything else. I find that ganging more than 8 of them together makes them difficult to connect and disconnect. Brendan

To follow on Ray's text with a picture

None needed. There are no reversing sections and the peco setrack points are insulfrog Brendan

Thanks for confirming. Brendan

I have a Z21 with a wifi-multimaus. On the multimaus, I can only type in capital letters. Am I missing something? Thanks Brendan

I think that is the point - the imitations won't coincide with the flexi rail ends. Brendan

I believe the proper term is gauge-fluid Brendan

They are also slow to move ahead with the times. Brendan

For the standard supply. If a higher voltage power supply is used, it will raise the output voltage. I use and old laptop supply (19V) for mine. Ahh

Correct, but I understood the issue to be using the NCE handheld on Z21. If you have the NCE system, you can connect it to the Z21 through the sniffer ports to be able to use the NCE handheld. Brendan

Does the NCE not work on the sniffer port of the Z21? Brendan

You could just make the points sprung. I have that on my loop. Just use piano wire to hold the points for whichever route is normal. Set the tension so that the lightest wagon you have can push the points over when going against them. You can only enter the loop on the same route every time but if that is not an issue. . . . No LEDs needed for those points, either. Brendan

That sounds promising. He should be able to test that hypothesis by throwing all the other switches and seeing if the subject one moves.

Here are some internal shots. Pretty simple. Not sure how it can go backwards unless the motor is bad. The only thing controlling direction is the polarity. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwignuKB8-XbAhVD54MKHY-OCRgQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.railroad-line.com%2Fforum%2Ftopic.asp%3FTOPIC_ID%3D39235&psig=AOvVaw2FXnNjxD7WUGb-82-KNUkN&ust=1529709472376260 https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi4jqqT8uXbAhUCmoMKHS62Dz0QjRx6BAgBEAU&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vlaki.info%2Fforum%2Fviewtopic.php%3Ft%3D8691&psig=AOvVaw2FXnNjxD7WUGb-82-KNUkN&ust=1529709472376260 Brendan
