I should add, my plan is a fast setup and fast pack away approach when using my Ninco track so to keep things simple I would like to power the lane changers through the rails.
The lane changer solenoids have a coil resistance of 7 Ohms which corresponds to a current of 1.7Amps at 12Volts. If several are in lane change position (i.e solenoid ‘hold’) at the same time the amps will quickly add up.
The reduced current approach of the previous postmight provide a useful solution. Let’s see.
As mentioned elsewhere I have ‘independently developed’ fully functioning lane changer firmware so a new design for the lane changer electronics hardware is a logical next step - and an opportunity, therefore, to explore the reduced current approach too :)
