Would it be possible to avoid the cost of a larger power supply by paralleling smaller power supplies into the dcc controller? I have a 5 amp 12/volt Radio Shack power supply and an MRC prodigy DCC system with a 3.5 amp power supply that puts out 16volts.
WOuld the voltage difference be a problem as long as the additional source is at a lower voltage?

! There are situations where you can parallel supplies, but they need to be closely matched, and it has to be done carefully.
