@Richie C. posted:If you have toggle switches, how does it send "all the power back to the trains at once" ?
A switch should just be powering up one train/siding at a time, as you flip them on, which is no worse for wear than powering up a train while sits on a main.
Subject, of course, to the DCS watchdog signal issue discussed above.
I believe I meant the sudden powering up of the loco, and this occurs mainly with the Lionel locos, when all the sound and lights come on. It’s really no different then turning on a light.
My apologies. I am diving into this and learning as I go.
