not out of date as far as i'm concerned, that's exactly what i'm dealing with. i thought i had the phasing part under control but i just got back from my friends house where i was tried putting theory to practice and came up with a problem. i connected the two commons of his train transformers (1033 and rw 110) and got them in phase with each other. than i took one of my 12 volt accessory transformers and put one of its legs on the common leg, and checked my voltages and it showed in phase with one transformer, but out of phase with the other. i'm an electrician by trade, i don't really see how this is possible. i'm going to talk to some of the guys at work tonight, maybe i'm missing something here. <br /> <br />anyhow, since we're on the topic... is the "U" tap the common or the hotrail? i saw a picture in a lionel book showing it as the outside rail, but my friend has it as the hot rail. when i was testing the phasing i did try switching this both ways and came up with the same problem.
