Didn't want to steal the "Bus Wire" thread so I decided to start a new one
I tried to get some help at NCE in February and lately with no luck. So I'm asking for your help.
I bought the Power Pro 5 a year ago and thought it would be enough to run my layout, but as I go along building my layout, I'm finding every day that I need much more. But the problem I have is searching for info's as I get more and more confuse with everything I read.
First, to better understand what I need for my layout, you need to take a look at it here:
http://www.modelrailroadforums.com/...38234-Hawks-NEW-quot-MHO-Junction-quot-layout
I decided that I will be upgrading to wireless. If I understand right, all I need is the "Procab-R Deluxe Master Cab Radio Equipped" and a "RB02 radio base station", is this right?
With the size of my layout, I now know I need 4 boosters, but I need help in deciding which one is required for my layout, SB5 or DB5 or PB5?
With those 4 boosters, I will be splitting my layout in 4 blocks and for that I need 4 "EB1, Single electronic circuit breaker" or 1 "CP6, 6 Zone DCC circuit protector", which one is the right one I need?
While looking at everything else available from NCE, what about:
Do I need any "Accessory Decoders"?
Do I need any "Automation and Detection"
What about "Switch8-MK2 accessories"?
What about what's needed to connect the command center to my computer?
Any special wires?
Thank you all
