Booster Questons

MRC offers the "Power Station 8" booster for their DCC systems, which is the one Randy refers to above, if I'm not mistaken. I am not familiar with the "Command 8" booster, and can't find it on their website. If this is the same unit, it hooks up like Randy said, just connect the PA track output to the booster input. You will then need circuit breakers for each of your districts, which will all be hooked up in parallel to the booster output. What I opted for was the "PS Four" circuit breaker from Tony's Train Exchange ( http://www.tonystrains.com ). This provides four separately protected outputs for my power districts. Each of the four outputs goes to one district, for four districts total. The documentation that comes with the PS Four is pretty thorough and straightforward, and shows how to set it up quite well (at least in my opinion). MRC has information for their Power Station 8 available here (but it's not very helpful): <br />http://www.modelrectifier.com/products/trainSound/product.asp <br /> <br />They (MRC) also offer their new 3.5A booster that can be used for one district (along with the PA output for another). <br /> <br />I hope this helps. <br />Joe
