Any information on other Dcc controls,please let me no on here If you're popping Powercab's I'd be looking for electrical faults on the layout. You can protect the Powercab by adding a circuit breaker such as the NCE EB1 between the track terminals and the layout. Or add a protected power booster such as the Tam Valley 5A Booster (£33) which is what I use on Camel Quay. If any fault appears on the layout the power booster shuts down without effecting the Powercab. Ray. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok thats great Ray,weve checked the layouts for faults,but none anywere!! but the other things we not tryed!! so wil look into those now, thanks for your in put Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tender Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Thinking about it, it's a big layout so you might just be overloading the Powercab, so I'd go down the Tam Valley power booster route as a cheap option. Otherwise you're looking at a PowerPro or similar from another manufacture, mega bucks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
