Reply to "Parallel sidings for Ross #8 switches"

#8s for sidings? thats my kinda layout... but sadly i have no room for that.

A #8 frog is just a tad over 7 degrees, so you'll need to match that if you want to get back to parallel. You can either cut a huge curve down or flex track it. Steve at Ross makes transition tracks for the Ross Regular 100 and 101 switches at different track centers, I dont think he makes them for any other switches but its worth a call to see what he can do.

The data driver is a DZ2001, not a 1000 and you need one of them for the layout. Make sure you have the latest revision if you plan to use it with Legacy (I think its 'C'). The DZ2500s (at each switch) connect to it via a bus wire and then can be programmed and actuated via the remote or LCS wifi. You still need to provide 12V and ground to each machine.
