OK, I should have been a bit more clear about what I’m trying to do.
I want to run these automatically, running each train for about 20 min at a time on a schedule. I do not want to have a party and have to sit in the train room all the time. Basically I want to set it and forget it.
The sets I have…
- Polar Express
- North Pole Central
- A Christmas Story
- Santa Flyer
- Holiday Subway (Basically 2 car NYC subway repainted in Red/White/Green)
- Trolley Car
All were bought new within the past 10 years, probably since 2013 or 2014. All came with a CW-40 or CW-80 and no remote control.
They need to run forwards, most likely no reversing. I don’t need any bling/effects like sound or smoke. I can rewire if need be.
I said HO Style so that people understand what I’m using for power, basic DC. I am making four 10 amp, full wave rectified power supplies that will go through a pulse wave modulation motor controller to the track. The PWM units will be controlled by a Raspberry Pi. Hench I need to control the locos with DC.
