Electrical rating Station Clocks
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, October 17, 2002 8:51 PM
I have a couple of Model Power HO brass station clocks # 598. Does anyone know the voltage and amp ratings for these clocks. I'm getting nothing back from Model Power.
Thanks

Hi Larry,

I have a couple of these clocks that are still in their package. The owner of my shop told me they should be correctly powered from the accessory connectors of my power packs; however he suggested to try them connected in series to be sure the voltage is not too high.
I'll try it that way.

Martin,
Sorry I took so long to get back to you. On another forum I was told they are 12v systems and should work off the accessory terminals. The idea of using a series connection seems safe to me.
Thanks.

Happy Rails,
Larry
