Finally got the PWM controllers hooked up and running… this is a Xmas layout, you know. I let them run for an hour without any heating that I could find. The heat sinks on the controllers didn’t even get warm. As for the trains, they run so silky smooth it is amazing… and the slow speed -- Wow! I can make them barely crawl. This is so cool.
I feel the trains are quieter, much quieter. Is there any reason this could be true? There is one thing that is a little funny and strange though. On one of the loops my AM K4 headlight would blink at just one spot, every time – no hesitation in the engine movement, just a blink of the light. I figured it was a low spot or dirty track. When I switched to the regulated power supply it doesn’t blink any more… weird.
