Having issues with intermittent operation of a multifunction decoder? 😩
The cause may not be obvious: RailCom.
Older decoders manufactured prior to the introduction of RailCom may experience issues when the RailCom cut out is active. Recent command stations and boosters may have RailCom active by default.

More information regarding the PECO Unifrog.
In this case, the #6 C83 Crossing. As always, behaves like an Insulfrog as delivered, but can be wired as an Electrofrog.
Powering the frogs will require a DPDT switch, or a pair of devices to control the phase of each of the outer frogs.

What is the 'Bushby Bit' found in #Digitrax DCC command stations?
The '''Bushby Bit''' is a software switch which prevents turnout changes via the throttle, giving control to the dispatcher or Central Traffic Control.

Wring a #ModelRailway for #NMRA Digital Command Control isn't difficult.
The basics:
1. It is not analog Direct Current so the rules are different.Actually the wiring is much more straightforward, only a heavier gauge of wire is required. Reverse loops must be accommodated. Some turnouts may cause issues.
Outside of that, it is a lot easier than the old DC Block systems of yesteryear.

Share your knowledge about the NMRA's Digital Command Control by becoming a DCCWiki contributor.
Help fill in the gaps in the knowledge base, especially where information on various European brands is lacking. Or add your knowledge of Digitrax, NCE, TCS and others.
Knowledge is not wasted when shared.

Flux makes soldering tasks easier. Particularly when you have old solder, where the flux is not as effective.
Not only is flux important, the correct flux is very important. Many use acid based fluxes for electrical and electronic work. Which is a big mistake.
