@firsttimer posted:Rod - Many thanks for the support! I initially found DCS to be counter intuitive and had a heck of a time getting it to work properly (train not on track, can't find engine, limited speed, eg.); the manual was of little or no help and the OGR video which I purchased filled in a lot of those holes. I am now pretty comfortable with it, and as you indicated, experience is the best teacher! And I am now using Fixed In 1 and Fixed In 2 for my loops and am powering the TIU with a small power supply. Everything seems to be working well!
Thanks again!

Firtstimer; you are more than welcome. Most anything you need to know you can get advice about here on the forum. There is also a publication called the DCS Companion, written by Barry Broskowitz, which you can search and download digitally. Barry was arguably the resident DCS guru, and his book is a huge wealth of information, more than most of us will ever need to know, but its a great reference. I believe the 3rd edition is still the most current. Unfortunately Barry passed about a year or so ago, but his legacy lives on.
