Broadway Limited DCMaster and Kato Unitrack
Posted by friend611 on Friday, May 15, 2015 1:12 PM

Has any of you tried to connect a Broadway Limited DCMaster to Kato Unitrack? I have a HO scale layout and would like information on what I need to do in the way of connections. Any advice would be appreciated.

From the user manual:

"Installation
First connect the red wires from the DC Master marked “DC Power” to the “Variable DC” terminals on your DC power pack.
Then connect the black wires from the DC Master marked “To Track” to the track terminals.
Set up is now complete."

The user manual may be found at: http://www.broadway-limited.com/support/manuals/DCMaster%20Instruction%20Manual.pdf

I read the User Manual, and inspected the wires on the DCMaster, which have bare ends. Would it be possible to connect these to the Kato Unijoiners or must another means of connection be used? I'm supposing this is similar to DCC setup in which feeders soldered to the Unijoiners must be used.

 Yes, exactly the same as hooking up anything else that does not use the Kato connectors. Same with Bachmann EZ Track as well.
