 What sort of switch motors do you have? Atlas, Peco, Kato, Tortoises? It makes a difference.

Hi!

On my DCC HO layout I use an MRC DC power pack to run all accessories.  It works just fine, and I'm quite happy with it.

ENJOY  !

Me too, I use a series of 4 MRC Railpower 1370 DC transformers strung along my layout to power all of my signals and Tortoise powered turnouts.
