DCC Wiring – A Practical Guide.DCC WIRING CLINIC 9 DCC Wiring Basics II With just one large block, wiring mistakes and failures can be very hard to locate – one defect anywhere and its no go everywhere. Be very careful in wiring methods and workmanship. Leave no bare wire. Check for short circuits as you go, before the booster is connected. Simple multi-meter is fine.
Wiring Crossovers The diagram below shows how to wire up a live frog crossing (e.g. a Peco Electrofrog Diamond Crossing) with two juicers feeding the frogs. The lightning bolts represent a train arriving on the other route and causing a short circuit, the first short occurs with the entry frog and then a subsequent short occurs on the exit frog.
How to wire MTH Rail King operating crossing signalsThe first schematic diagram shows how to wire MTH signals (without crossing gates) to the Azatrax crossing system. See below for Rail King signals with gates. This wiring diagram shows the MTH signals controlled by an MRD6-X HexDetex™, which is connected to a DC power supply such as our PS906. The HexDetex™ watches the train detectors along the track, and turns on the crossing signals when it senses an approaching train.
Railroad Relays2) If a wire breaks, the signal will display red, 3) If something happens to the track, like a bad bond, or the rail breaks, the signal will turn to red, 4) if something happens to the relay itself, it is also designed to fail so that the signal will turn to red.

Need help restoring a RR Crossing light and bell Surprisingly little info, esp. for the 4 way railroad crossing lights. I saw the 12 v on one of the videos. Cameta just quickly panned past a car battery charger they were using. All the parts in the bell are easy and move perfectly. There is also a diagram, I just don't know how to read one well enough to be sure. Maybe I will post that.
