Phil S Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Having just received some of the NEW PRODUCTION of Rocoline with-trackbed Digital Point Motors, I checked the instructions enclosed for information on Railcom® compatibility, because, 'previously' the website / downloaded manual had clearly stated a warning that the (digital) point motors were/would not be Railcom® compatiblle !!! The new instructions carry a reminder to ensure that track feed suppression capacitors have been removed, BUT made no mention of Railcom - despite showing a Z21 method of programming the motor. HOWEVER - visiting the Product Page on Roco.cc for the Digital Point Motor NOW STATES that (the present production by implication/inference) IS NOW RAILCOM Compatible However since I have a large number of the OLD type on my layout, I suspect I will not be using Railcom on it, and I will have to clearly identify the newer stock by an obvious - rather than obscure - date code !

RMweb Premium boxbrownie Posted January 7, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 7, 2019 Now that's good value, I wonder if I could adapt it to fit under the Trix C Track points? I have been struggling to find an economic way to DCC switch the C Track points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philg Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Sorry to hijack this thread, but does anyone know of a way of “reversing” the normal and thrown directions? On a straight point it doesn’t matter - normal is always the straight route but with curved points, either one could be the “normal” route cheers phil g Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Grovenor Posted November 26, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 26, 2020 Even with straight points either can be normal. The definition of normal/reverse is independent from straight/curved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The definition of normal/reverse is independent from straight/curved. I guess that's true - so my question still stands though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
