I did get my DZ-2500 switch machines powered up today, I have a couple of out the 24 that need work, one looks to be certainly bad, the other may be adjustment or the spring, we'll see. Once I get them all working mechanically, I'll hook up the serial data and program all of them for TMCC ID's.
12v made it fly. Was way too fast. 6v struggled to turn it and I hated it. 9.5 seems to do pretty well. 8v as you have would probably be better. Easy enough to swap around and find the perfect sweet spot once it’s farther along. This weekends plan is to have every track powered and be able to move locos anywhere I want under their own power.
