Just entering the world of DCC with Cobalt and NCE Power Cab combination. Your video is excellent and taken the scales off my eyes ( or was that just a glazed look!!). Much appreciated.

Thank you for this excellent (and simple for us beginners/Luddites when it comes to anything electrical!) demonstration. Mine now works! Stay safe

WARNING: If these Point motors have Cobalt magnets (from the USA) they are mildly Radio-Active, and are not likely to meet British stringent safety requirements !!!!

What an awesome instruction video. I have an NCE Power Cab, and my mind was exploding trying to get my head round the written instructions. Thank you, Brian, your explanation is perfect.

The instructions with the Cobalt motor and the MRC (or Gaugemaster) Prodigy Advance didn't work. I watched your video, followed the directions, and the setup went quickly and perfectly. Thanks for posting this video; it was a HUGE help in getting my layout working.

A lot of button pushing to change a point,any chance you can show a system that you can use momentary buttons without the NCE hand controller please?

Could you tell me the dimensions of this motor please, thanks
@andersgullberg5 жыл бұрын
The dimensions are:40x40x65 mm. It´s smaller than Tortoise motor. But i prefer to use Tortoise motor because it has two switchable contacts and you can easy way swap the wires to the motor or contacts.

Just purchased NCE power cab, and followed your video to program colbalt motors, complete success, thank you for this helpful video.Did try with Hornby Elite, so long winded and also hit and miss.

Hi Brian, I watched your video few times and an excellent video. But I own Hornby Elite controller and recently I bought a Cobalt Digital IP slow motion pont motor for the first time to fit to my digital layout. As the point motor comes self centered, I tried to decenter it by following their instructions, but it do not work. When contacted Hornby Customer services, they only told me that the Elite and the point motor are compatable. Any advice is appreciated to solve the problem.

Brian I'm using this cobalt iP digital on a peco SL-90 insulfrog on the peco instructions it shows you cut two wires bend up join together each side of slip so you have two wires now one goes to the right point motor and the other goes to the left .S1FROG .ok That's done dcc concept say no insulate fishplates needed ? get the power from the track on one side connect up to motor on left side and the other from the right side.? Is this the right way to ?
@andersgullberg5 жыл бұрын
You connect two wires to the point motor DCC. The third connect are for the frog by polarity. That´s it! If you use insulfrog, you don´t need to use the third connect on the point motor.

Hi Brian have problem, how do you wire up a peco diamond crossing with the new dcc cobalt digital ip point motor for dcc.? this is an insulated point ?
@HiFi398 жыл бұрын
OK Brian can you do a video showing how to wire up the leds, just got the nce db5 power booster to had more power to track.

Brian how would you get two point motors working to gether ,dcc cobalt IP digital and program it into nce power cab.Do you have to take the small spring out of the point.
@brianjlambert8 жыл бұрын
Hi Give both Cobalt point motors the same address number and they will move together when that address is entered. Yes, its recommended to remove the over centre spring from points to allow the slow motion of the Cobalt movement to be used. The over centre spring is not needed with Cobalts as the Cobalt holds the point blades closed to the stock rail.
@HiFi398 жыл бұрын
will do this, now how to wire up the motor, can you have leds on this system would be nice.
@brianjlambert8 жыл бұрын
LEDs can be powered from the Cobalts Terminal 3 using the DCC power or form the change-over set of contacts using a separate power source. The Cobalt leaflet shows how this is achieved. Don't forget LEDs are polarity conscious devices and must be connected the correct way around or they wont work and normal 2 to 4 volt LEDs will need a resistor in series with one lead too.

Hi Brian, I'd not seen this before. As I would expect, good lighting. I did have a laugh as I didn't see a train move. Scenic presentation is king. Very Good. Dad-1
