A Shoutout to Derail Darrel, Jason The Train Freak and George from Soundtrax Also to all who commented on my previous video. It all boiled down to a wiring issue Had the Tortoise machines pins 6 and 7 were connected to the wrong bus line. Had to run my bus lines for those two main lines to that side of the layout and connect the tortoise machines to them.

My NCE Light-Its and now connected to the signals on my Third Level. Had to wait for many products. Wire, Terminal Blocks, Light-ITs, Signals, T-Tap Connectors. Just a few items to complete the process. The signals have 4 wires R Y G and Black with Resister. Connect those 4 wire to a 4 port terminal block. Solder 4 wires R Y G Black onto the Light-it. those 4 wires connect to the terminal block colors all match. Two more wires are soldered to the Light-It and then get connected to my DCC Accessory Bus Line. On the Power Cab I hit Shift and Clear buttons then I enter the address of the light-it. Now I can change the aspect of the signal using my Power Cab or on my JMRI Panel They also automatically change when the block or turnout changes.

I received the 21 Pin Decoder yesterday Took just 1 day to get here the support for this was great. Since this engine will be consisted I decided I did not need a sound decoder. When Consisting you need to make sure CV2 CV5 and CV6 are the same values in both engines in my new engine I can not set CV6 I guess the decoder has a limitation (LokPilot) other engine has LokSound decoder both by ESU The engines when I speed tested them where off slightly not by much. they seem to run well together. You tell me.
