[quote user="cheese4432"][quote user="pilot"] Can the Zephyr power the reverse loop boards? I think you need a seperate thing for reverse loops.Can the Zephyr do DC over DCC (run my DC engines also), like on address zero or ten or something like that?The zypher can run locomotives on address 00.Can the Zephyr be configured with a wireless throttle?Yes digitrax offers wireless throttles in radio and IR lightversions.I have N scale Bachman EZ DCC and I am running a 160' of track, 20 switch, 6 locomotive (2 DC small steam) and am fairly happy. Only thing it WONT do that I want is wireless throttle (I have an aux throttle but it is wired). Could consist better also. I don't have any sound locomotives though, I am sure there is a lack there also. It does DC over DCC and handles the reversing boards just fine. For the money, a good system.If the Zephyr does all this the 2.5 amps is plenty for me. HO users MIGHT need more amps. I run max three trains at once. Of course N scale doesnt take as many amps.[/quote][/quote]I have a total of 8 amps availible to the booster and a total of 25 amps maximum off the house electrical box. My BLI ABBA F unit set in full cry never uses more than three amps total that I can see.Some of my hand tools pull 5-10 amps or more.Which is why I say 5 amps is PLENTY.The DCS 200+ I think is a special booster/command station that auto reverses for you now. However lots of good parts are availible to do that job. Me I dont do reverse loops but have a switch for that manually if I need to.My new NW switchers have the "Notch system" now and are able to behave/transistion at appropriate speeds and loads but those functions take the first 9 keys anyhow.I really have calmed down on the bell and whistles. Maybe a pair of toots and a few dings before moving out.
