<p>Hi,</p><p> </p><p>LGB switch motors are intended to work on half-wave DC. </p><p>They will work on DC, but you have to be careful if you actuate the control for too long - or worse if it welds itself - then you can burn them. </p><p>The diodes to get half-wave are built into the LGB switch boxes. But you can just as easily build your own panel by using the schematic on George Schreyer's site</p><p>[img]http://www.girr.org/girr/tips/tips1/turnout_controls.gif[/img] </p><p>While you're at it read the other tips. http://www.girr.org/girr/tips/tips1/lgb_1600.html#controls </p><p> </p><p>Hope that helps</p><p> </p><p>Cheers</p><p> </p><p>ER </p><p> </p><p>PS Happy New Year to everyone! </p><p> </p>
