2020年5月24日 · I released some magic smoke today. I was setting up some Ross switches for non derailing with DZ machines and I fried one of the two button controllers. Took it apart and a trace was burned, but also one of the push buttons no longer worked. Fortunately not very costly. This put out a very thick smoke and I am pretty good at creating it. I'm thinking of installing a …
Re: New MTH CP Christmas Stage Boxcar Up in Smoke
2019年12月6日 · I received my MTH 20-93751 in January of this year. However, I haven't run it until now as by the time I received mine, I'd already pulled the Xmas train items down from the layout.

ZW danger to hi tech locomotives - O Gauge Railroading On Line …
2023年1月4日 · I also have a small layout with a 275 watt ZW. I've used TVSs since reading about them here years ago. I also measure current draw and size the fuse accordingly. Most of the time I am under 3A so I run 5A fuses. The only negative my grand kids taught me. A Thomas derailment blew my last 5A fuse on Christmas Day a few years ago. If you use fuses, be sure …

Re: Diesel Smoke Ports Seem Too Narrow To Add Fluid

TVS and Fast Acting Circuit Breaker help
2021年5月2日 · I recently added a crossover to my layout from loop to loop. One of the trains jumped the tracks at the switch which caused some sparking. Currently I just have my two loops hooked from my z4000 to terminal blocks. Would adding TVS and a fast acting circuit breaker prevent all the sparking from happening? I’m worried something is going to get damaged. …
