KW Transformer and Legacy Command Set Compatibility
Posted by DLC63 on Saturday, August 4, 2012 12:49 PM

I just bought a Legacy Command Set and Vision Line Diesel.  I want to run it off of my KW Transformer.  I know I need a transient voltage suppression system to protect the engine from a short during derailment.  Where do I buy a TVS and how do I hook it up?
