Guys,
I put together a Capacitor Discharge Unit for firing the turnout motors, and I just wanted to comapre performance with others.
It was a kit, (about $10), and I find it will only power no more than two turnout motors simultaneously, and also, needs about 1 1/12 seconds to recharge before enough capacity is in there to switch the next turnout. It has two capacitors (couldn't tell you what value, cause I'm not at home), and is powered by 17 V AC off my controller.
Thaks guys.
