@AlanOGauge posted:Any thoughts on using this system for older postwar Lionel engines, the article seems geared towards newer can style motors that draw only an amp max.
THANKS for your interest in this control system.
* The Z-Stuff instruction sheet for the DZ-1008 relay says: "The contacts are rated for 10 amperes at 24 V AC."
( Reference: zstuffexpress.com/_files/ugd/ffc73c_14b5794af32e473187c64e928f87b96e.pdf )
I also attached a copy of those instructions.
~~~~~~~~
Since you'll probably be running significantly LESS than 24 volts, when running "analog" locos, you could probably safely exceed even those 10 amps.
That's 5 amps or more each -- for 2 "current-hungry" O gauge locos.
- If you have any further concerns, I suggest you contact the Z-Stuff owner/designer Dennis Zander by telephone (during "normal business hours").
- He's always been very good about answering my questions.
His phone number is 585-377-0925 (it's also at the end of the PDF instruction sheet that I uploaded).
