I need your help identifying the cause of overcurrent of my ho train track. It occurs with any engine I run on the track. I use a power pack with an ammeter and voltmeter included. The track bus is 14 ga awg stranded wire with 20 ga awg droppers every 6 ft of track for a total of 20 ft. As I run...
Been there and done that. I took off the tip of one finger on my table saw and tip of another finger on my jointed. Both times I was hurrying to get done. Now both fingers healed, but I take my time when working around machinery.
As for the schematic, I found a dual coil latch relay that does...
