Yes, I know this has been addressed, and I've honestly googled and tried to look up the thread, but since I can't even remember the NAME of what I'm looking for I'm gonna have to be "that guy" and ask a question I know has already been answered. Sorry.
I've now hit 9 sound decoders all on one booster (along with probably another 20 or more non-sound), and while the trains run just fine as long as the booster is already powered up (8 amp Digitrax, btw) I find that after adding sound loco #9 I can no longer get the booster to power up if all of them are parked on that one booster. I know there's a device that "softens" the power-up to the rails so that all of the load doesn't hit the booster quite so quickly and solves that problem. Can you guys just point me in the right direction?
