Shelf Layout 2.0 DCS Question | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

GoshawkOGR Forum Member

We are building a new house and I am going to make a new shelf layout for my son's room. I am thinking about adding full DCS and just have a couple questions. The electrical outlet is in the closet. I am thinking of mounting the TIU inside the closet. Will the remote have any issues talking to the TIU through the wall? There is no insulation in the wall. Second question, if I use an isolated rail to activate accessories, will it affect the DCS signal. I did see in the DCS manual not to use the track power for accessories, but did not see anything about isolated rails.

Corey,

That's hard to say. Just hook some things up temporarily and try it.

Second question, if I use an isolated rail to activate accessories, will it affect the DCS signal.

I do that all of the time with absolutely no issues.

Awesome, thank Barry. We will have to give it a whirl and see what happens!
