i moved to Tortoise switch machines, and use them to power the frogs in my turnouts.  that, plus keeping the track clean, works for me.  i didn't want to figure out how to cram keep-alives into the shells of my locos.  i know many here do so, but i'm very happy with the tortoise machines.

Had some posts of a railpro layout build.  Last one was on using foam for road bed.  They are gone. 

What happened?

Kind regards,

Until you pair the HC with a module (LM, AR etc.) Nothing will show on those pages.

The locomotive photo needs to be uploaded to the LM from the HC once it has been paired (found). When that is done, you need to change the setting for locomotive picture on the LM, using the HC. LM's will always display the default image (Ring Diesel) when first found.

I don't know what brand of track your using but zooming in on that 90 degree crossing it appears each leg of the crossing is well and truly isolated from each other.

There isn't anywhere particularly special that the AR-1's should be attached to, as long as they are powering the correct piece of track. Using your first pic as an example, for the BL-TR (Bottom Left - Top Right) leg I'd attach an AR-1 roughly where the tape measure is. For the TL-BR leg I'd do the same thing, mirror image of the first (this is based on the legs being isolated with the plastic joiners at the green lines). Then the AR-1 are powered (input) by what ever is powering the inside track loop, and the output of the AR-1's power the legs of the cross.

I'm like Coal Valley - non so far. See how it goes. Moving on to loco #5 & 6, I did buy a PB-1 for a future if needed ? Switcher maybe ?
All the first installs are 8 axel loco's, run great.
