I recently purchased the above to use on my rolling road which is in the next place to my layout. On the unit it states 15v input and output, there is a 4amp transformer with it, I tried one of my 0 gauge locos on a rolling road and it would not move (sound was ok) checking the voltage on the track and at the output on the unit I get 13.6v the 0 gauge loco I understand needs 15V

On checking the output on the AUX I get 32.6v do you think it might be faulty?

The Select has a 15v DC PSU input and puts out 15v DCC to the Track which is a pseudo AC waveform. You can read this on a multimeter AC volts range but it is not accurate only indicative - for accuracy you need a RRAMP meter.

 

The Aux output is 15v DC and of no use to run a loco.
