(long post as usual ) well here i am needing advice again. when my trains were stored for so long at one time they were at my friends home who is an N scaler. i know he used my packs. now some 15 years later i open my stuff and find the 501n with cord cut off so i put a cord back on and check dc volts and only the varible dc and the ac has any output none from straight dc side. its humming pretty loud too. i know at same time i had given him a kitty and that is why the cord was most likely gone . to further add to mystery there is a box for a 501ho also in my stuff but empty?? i know i DID have a throttle with momentum but i did not get one of those back. only another plastic MRC single cab 1100 or 1400 which does seems to work. i had a dual cab something. whats this with my throttle bigjim??????? im not mad yet but i want to know something you big gorilla. i know you in here just shy to post..respond to my emails man question is a 501n fixable or worth fixing ?? also is says it has circuit breaker protection? is it resettable or a fused link. seems the box is riveted so no access without drilling rivets. i need a throttle bad now. ill check the volts output on the small MRC i do have and see if it will power my 4x8. if not i guess the way to go is find someone who has upgraded to dcc that wants to sell or trade a throttle. argh i reminded of the old carribean man saying all i want is to buy this mellon. all i want to do is run my one good atlas on a loop right now.
