N Gage Peco PL-10 Switch Machines

You will need a 3 amp pushbutton. I echo Mister Beasley's advice to buy from a distributor and to use a Cd supply.

For Peco switch machines, I would strongly suggest buying or building a Capacitive Discharge circuit.  Peco machines need a bigger kick than other twin-coils like Atlas.

Also, unless you only have a handful of turnouts, look around for another source for your pushbuttons.  Online places like Demar Electronics or All Electronics (or Mouser, or Digikey, or Ocean State Electronics, etc.) will save you significant dollars over Radio $hack, dollars which should be spent on trains instead.

Does anyone know the current draw of the Peco PL-10 Switch Machine?  I plan on powering them with 16VAC and using Radio Shack momentary contact pushbutton switches, they come in either 0.5 amp or 3 amp.

Thanks, KAJO
