At EMRC we use two battery chargers ( with modifications) to power our trains. We use a split potential power system that means -12V DC 0V + 12V DC. In effect you are using one transformer in one direction, and the other for the reverse direction.
One way of motorising your points is to use old Telecom relays to throw the points. They have been widely used by many clubs and countless individuals. EMRC started using them in 1980, and thought we would share the information.
At yesterday’s working bee, the standard gauge crossover deck was cut out.
Read about the progress of the exhibition working bee, held most Thursdays.
