Running multiple locomotives in analog mode |
|
|
| If you are operating your decoders in analog mode and are having
interference trouble of running more then one at a time do the following.
Connect two electrolytic capacitors across the output of the power pack in
the following manner. Connect the positive lead of one capacitor to one of
the power terminals. Connect the positive lead of the second capacitor to
the other power pack terminal. Then connect the negative side of each
capacitor together. Use capacitors with a minimum voltage rating of 20
volts. The capacitive rating of each capacitor should be in the range
of 200 to 500 micro farads each. Be sure to insulate capacitor leads
and connections with shrink tubing or electrical tap to avoid problems. You
can find electrolytic capacitors at Radio Shack that will work. We can also
supply these capacitors as a kit with shrink tubing and connection diagram.
Cost is $10.00 which includes all shipping and handling fees.
