if this is DC it -might- be a small issue with the controllers pulse output ?? if ts DCC i have no idea, sorry

i made some very cheaply [under one dollar] for HO DCC, i would imagine that they are available for your scale

fully sprung trucks have springs that are supposed- to move ... but i couldn't find any rolling stock that would actually was heavy enough to compress the springs .. kinda of a nice idea, but a big failure in execution , i threw them in a pile someplace...

if you have all the problems listed in wombats post, you are applying was too much no ox, it's not meant to be a cleaner, the rails have to be clean first, whether alcohol, gleaming, or other method... all it is a protectant, thats it , it reduces future oxidation to virtually nil... it HAS to...

12 volt at 5 ma is nowheres sufficient ... you should have diodes rated for 50 volts [or more] and 1 amp or better

no i never did make a wiring diagram, just put it together about six to eight years ago .. i do remember that the diodes were 1N4001 as i do have several hundred of them .. it's a shame that your SX controller doesn't have momentum as that way would be a lot easier ...

yes, two capacitors back to back [so they work in both directions under DC], with two diodes, and [as a suggestion] two resistors to limit inrush current .... the same result can be achieved by using the 'momentum' slider on your power supply [if you have that] .. i had made one for DC but it...

yes, it would work if the wire count [stacked] was within the connectors limits ..

i ran slopes of 2 /2% on my layout .. it was sixteen feet by fifteen feet in size, and i had elevation changes of up to nine inches in there , there was very little that was flat .. the layout is on the scarm web site, and it's named the squirrel creek railroad ... era is 1890 so there is very...

i had them on my layout for a good number of years [the sprung HO ones] and i pushed them to the ground regularly, no problems at all, used dr.mikes ca to hold down the delrin

the warranty should be gone on this unit by now, i have had it over ten years by now, lol actually i don't think you can buy it 'new' anymore, at atleast from hakko
