Engine has been out for warranty repair work. The main board went out as what ive been told by the tech. On our last week, so hopefully next week, I have engine on its way back to me.
But in the meantime, got a request to keep train within one room at night. So, got me a pair of Ross 100, 101 switches with z1000s , and some Gargraves O-72 sectional track. Just finished one side today. One to go. Would have been much easier to have done this in the beginning. Still have some painting and tunnel entrance work to do.
For those of you with switches. How do you power them? I thought about feeding off buss wire, but was told 18v may cause them to bounce after switching sides. Whats out there, or something easy to make to drop down voltage 3-4 volts?
Also need a drop down for passenger cars / caboose. For me, looks much better with some light, vs. full brightness all the time. Was thinking of adding in a small adjustable pot. But maybe someone has come up with something, so thought I would check.
Thanks.
