Proposed new DCC standard. To be reviewed and voted on at 2007 annual meeting.

A) DCC connections on all corner modules; set of modules (2 or more modules commonly mated); and yard modules (both ends), being a RJ12 (6 pin telephone) USOC style jack, using pins 1-6 as shown on the jacks.

Pin out is 1-white/green  2-white/orange  3-blue  4-white/blue  5-orange  6-green (brown pair unused)

B) Loconet would then be extended using existing cords as needed. RJ45 (8 pin computer) would be terminated the same as the RJ12, using 568B pin out, also as shown on the jacks.

Pin out is 1-white/orange  2-orange  3-white/green  4-blue  5-white/blue  6-green (brown pair unused)

C) All jacks DCC (eliminating old walk around jacks all together)

D) Addresses for all DS54 / DS64 turnouts, to be allocated by the club Secretary, in blocks of 4. Addresses should be displayed on each module, with a diagram, or on a control panel. All turnouts should be set so that “C” (closed) is set for mainline traffic flow.

E) Push buttons for DCC control (DS54 / DS64) for route control to have an indication of path alignment, on a control panel showing diagram similar to below. (label buttons R for route control – label DS 54/64’s)

F) Push buttons for DCC control (DS54 / DS64) for turnout control to have a button for “C” (closed) and for “T” (thrown), and a indication of path alignment, on a control panel showing diagram similar to below (for mainlines)

G) Toggle switches for turn out control (non – DCC), should be set for up being points inward, down being points outward.

H) Secretary to compile and maintain list of DCC addresses of turnouts, route controls, and engines.
