toolongtoremember Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Hi there, I am starting a new layout on a modular 4x2 ft design, 8 baseboards providing me with a layout of 14ft x 6ft loop with a 10ft x 2ft operating well in the middle. I have attached the track plan from the software I am using, which is iTrain, I already have iTrain plus. Hardware wise I have: Digikeijs; DR5000 DR5088RC (x2) DCC Concepts AD8SX point decoder (x3) I know I will need more point decoders, and perhaps a DCC bus booster, I don't know too much about those though, I also need to know how do I wire up the DR5088RC block detection parts according to my attached diagram to provide block sections? do I count each individual point as a block as well as sections of straight track, or do I count the whole section of points a block or simply leave them on the main DCC bus not on the block detectors? Many thanks, Nick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMorrison Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Nick you are better asking this question in the iTrain forum than here. I also suggest that reading the guide in this link may help you plan how to use feedbacks to create blocks https://berros.eu/itrain/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10759 Iain 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tophski Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I did something similar, but as Iain suggests, the iTrain forum was a huge help for me, along with their guides that were on the forum. Chris 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
