<P>Danny</P> <P>Well you have possibly told me something i did not know. I thought you were quite wrong about 7V DC operating LGB switchdrives but as i have never tried i cannot argue with you. However when you use track contacts they pulse it across with half wave DC, as result of putting a sigle diode in series with an AC supply of about 22V. So i guess that is DC at about 12V very roughly.</P> <P>How long have you been doing it for and have you had any ill effects?</P> <P>Do you have DC across the motor all the time and how do you get a reversal of direction for the switch; reverse your polarity?</P> <P>You learn something new every day or even, you realise something you should have known all along.</P> <P>I can tell you what they will not work off and that is DCC!</P> <P>Rgds ian</P>
