paulbry Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Hi. I am new to this forum and to RM and DCC. So far I am getting along ok building an n-gauge layout but could now really use some help. I recently installed the Fleischmann 9152C turntable with manual switch. I isolated every track exit from the turntable, connected it all up per the instructions using the manual switch and it all worked fine except, as expected, I got a short when driving an engine off of a different siide of the turntable to where it entered. I had read that the Fleischmann 6915 had auto polarity reverse so, at considerable expense I acquired one and have been trying to get it to work ever since. Bottom line is that I can get it to work exactly as per the manual switch but I cannot, despite trying several different wiring arrangements, avoid getting the short circuit when driving off the turntable. One another annoying difference is that I notice with the 6915 unit that the turntable now 'clicks' as it passes every exit on turning whereas this did not happen with the manual switch. In desperation I have now gone out and bought a Lenz reverse module LK200 and that has cured the polarity issue though the TT still 'clicks' as it turns past every exit. So, I am wondering what benefit the 6915 provides at all - it seems I wasted my money ... or more probably I am just not connecting it all up correctly. I should mention that layout is DCC but I don't intend to control the TT via a PC or even via the DCC controller - am quite happy to operate TT manually with the switch. I'd like to use the LK200 elsewhere so any help or advice on these problems gladly received. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
