I am starting a small layout, I am trying to run two trains on one track, I have a relay, to stop the faster train from hitting the slower train, my predicament is that when the relay is activated the train starts slowly, since its a small layout I need them to start a little faster
What I was wondering is there a way that I could jump start the train that is at a dead start with a non polarized capacitor, just like the motors that are on your furnace or air conditioner. or is there another way around this.
I have a homemade transformer that is 24v at 125va, I am running two 2066 locomotives with 4 cars total on each locomotive I have serviced each of my engines, actually they are running pretty good right now, the relay that I am using is an 12v ac rated at 5 amps, I am feeding the center rail directly from the transformer.
