There are a couple of things you can do. You don't have to change systems. One is to wire in a Auto tail light between the booster and the track. the model number of the light can be found on the NCE site. They suggest it with their power boosters. Another is to get an after market protection set-up. Digitrax and NCE both have one available. I'm sure there are others. The last thing you can do is keep quarters away from the tracks :)

Ken,

I think it's time to move up to the new DCC system. SmileThumbs Up  I know that Simon will do a good job talking you through the workings of the Zephyr.

My My 2 cents...

 Did the quarter the test the other night. I left the quarter on the rails for 2 minutes, booster never shut down!Angry

 Add breakers? Or just buy a driffrent DCC system?
