    Chris now you just trying to confuse someone (not mentioning any names) when he gets these 751D's he just need one per each switch All he has to do is connect power (encluded) connect wires to PL11 and wires to led's These will be on a terminal block simple as can be I hope

    Proto 2000 E7A unit missing rear coupler shank linch pin

    That #455 from kadee uses a long shank coupler 25/64 " So if you are using standard kadee boxes the long shank will work

    Chris got it backwards got to thinking about it and the 18VDC 1.4AMP might just work by itself The 12VDC 2AMP I might need to add the caps to they will raise the voltage so could take one or four to get the voltage up as needed And the amperage don't matter My one pc has a 1000 watt...

    Tony Ken got back to me about the power supply 18VDC at 1.4 AMP and he thinks it should work But he said try the 12VDC at 2 AMP Might be ok also weill see when the PL11 gets here He did mention maybe adding a bulking cap to the 18 VDC one for a little extra power but might not need one...

    Proto 2000 E7A unit missing rear coupler shank linch pin

    Sounds like to sharp a radius at that spot and the couplers can't compensate so a longer shank would help

    Tony that MRC 1370 probably 16-19 vac and puts out about 1.5 amps so would work fine

    The “Give Tony Grief” Thread

    Hmm I wonder why everywhere I look they say 16 v ac or 18-20 v dc I'm not really concerned about the ac since the 751D only works on DC AC voltage will destroy it So what are you using for power source ?? Still think I need to get a PL11 and test it If it works on the 12 VDC fine good...

    Proto 2000 E7A unit missing rear coupler shank linch pin

    Could be a couple things wheel gauge maybe or one of the couplers does not move side to side enough or the trucks are not piviting enough What kind of couplers are you using If Kadee maybe a longer shank would help Also do yuo have a track gauge so you could check the gauge on the...

    Tony Just an update I do have a 18 vdc 1.4 amp power supply but i need to order one of those PL11 switch motors to make sure it will work All of mine that I used were powered by 12 vdc 2 amp The PL11 needs either 16 vac or 18 to 22 vdc I.m thinking the only thing would be the led power...
