Accessory Decoder

[Limey]

I have wired in A Gaugemaster (MRC) Accesory Decoder for operating 4 turnout motors The motor operates ok but will not move the turnout. Can anyone help pleaseLimey

Did you test it out on nomal DC operation before hooking it to the accessory decoder? It sounds like a mechanical problem (binds?) more than an electrical one.

It does not seem to be binding, the motor does not appear to be strong enough to move turnout. I am using Peco track and motors

Loosen the turnout if you have nailed it or secured it in some way,it may have something binding under the throw arm.Just a suggestion.

What is the Accessory Power Source to the decoder?

 

[Harold Cole]

It would be from the source that you are using for your DCC.

I am taking the power from the track- 16vac
