Ben,
Maybe I have a couple of wonky motors, but even with them being properly adjusted and lubricated with powdered Teflon (I picked that up from one of your posts several years ago) still need about 15 volts (I just put on the digital volt meter) to throw 100% of the time. (My DZ-1000's are probably 5 - 10 years old and I don't recall which ones were purchased when.)
Have y'all measured the output on the club's Z4000 14 volt fixed ports? I would be interested in knowing what voltage the switchs actually throw at?
On my MRC Dual, the 14V fixed voltage is actually 13.8 volts without any trains running. With one train running, the fixed voltage drops to 13.6 volts, and with two trains running, it drops to 13.4 volts.
Jim
