While on sScale,net I posted in the DCC section someone their homemade DCC WiFi throttle. TCS makes a WiFi throttle that costs $200 the homebrew WiFi throttle supposedly cost under $50 USD to make and it dont look too shabby either. Heres the link to his wsebsite and pictures of the throttle which I think looks cool.
So far I have two out of three parts that I need for my DCC++EX DCC-EX Command Station. Im missing a bunch of other stuff I need like Dupont connecters, Power supplies, Wi-Fi shield. The pic below below is what I have so far.
DCC++EX is old DCC-EX is the new kid on the block lol. sorry for the confusion.

The smaller building is from Miniatuart which is a paper laser cut kit. That could be a clinic or shop but Im making it a Koban which is a Japanese Police station. The Larger building is from Outland Models and this will be a city police station. They both came out better than I expected especially the smaller building. All thats needed for both are police men, motor cycles, and signage Ive started to work on that
Today I completed a nice purchase from Hobby Search that should tide me over for a little while. I got some parts a railbus and an excursion 3 car set what I forgot were some decoders but I think HS was out of them. The most anticipated item is a Japanese Koban that is laser cut cardboard kit. I've had a fascination with Kobans lately and will post some of the pics that I found on the internet of them.
Im going to preface this post by say that this post is in no way inclusive of want needs to happen in your decoder installation like the one I performed. You could blow up your decoder and need to get a new one however that didnt happen to me. This post will have pics and light on words except where needed.
