power track

[Old Bob]

Advice please. I have used a R2806 power track for DCC operation (no problems as yet)

I read that R 8214 Power Track  is for DCC 

Like to run DC and DCC on this track 

What should be the answer ?

You mean R8241. R8214 is the Elite controller.

You can use your R8206 on a digital track just by flipping open the cover bewteen the rails and snipping out the capacitor found there.

Theres a picture on here somewhere but I can’t find it.

Thanks If I do that can I use it for Dc and DCC ?

Yes you can use the power track section (or even the plug in power connector clip) once the capacitor has been removed with either system DC or DCC.

 

Note; On no circumstances allow a DC controller to be connected to rails that a DCC system is connected onto. One or both systems will suffer possible terminal damage if allowed to mix!

Rob, the only picture I remember was in RM Latest News and that is no longer there.

I assume it is the photo in this thread that is being referred to. Not that difficult to find.....no it was not one of my boilerplate bookmarks. I found it using the forum search box.
