GRVS occasionally uses DCC (Digitrax) on it's layout.  To make setup easy, this nifty "toolbox" was put together.  See the pictures as they can tell more than text.

dcc_01.jpg (300186 bytes)  Toolbox was obtained from Northern Tool & Equipment (Northern Hydraulics).  The three Cinch connecters on the left are for track power.  The single connector on the right is for the "jumper" (see schematic below for details).

dcc_02.jpg (291657 bytes) The power connector is from a PC power supply - can also be obtained from surplus stores (ie.. Axman).  You can also see the fuse holder and circuit breaker (next to the UP5).

dcc_03.jpg (393229 bytes) With the false floor, there is just enough room for a few cords, and the necessary documentation.

dcc_04.jpg (356723 bytes) The false floor is hinged to access the "goodies" underneath.

dcc_05.jpg (365374 bytes) All the goods packed tightly together.

dcc_06.jpg (414567 bytes) The Loconet plug for the PM42 is a little tricky to get to.  So, a short cord is plug into it and left coiled up inside the toolbox.

dcc_07.jpg (453716 bytes) The main transformer (feeding the DB150) is from Loy's Toys - part number MTF-V-5.  The transformer feeding the PM42 can be obtained from Radio Shack.

dcc_08.jpg (283466 bytes) Vent holes, with wire covers, are cut into each end of the toolbox.  One end is left open - and the booster is situated so the heat-sink is close to the vent.  The other vent is for the muffing fan - blowing in-wards.
