Alan:
I agree with Tim. Unless your room is very large the repeater functionality isn't really needed.

I use a generic switch mode power supply (from eBay) and my own homemade electronic circuit breakers.

Tim,

I thought I could smell something so I was going around looking for a tool or something laying on the track when it started howling and by the time I shut the power off it was smoking. I'm using 12 gage wire for the bus and 18 gage for the feeders. I don't know why it didn't shut down automatically. I've tested the track occasionally by shorting it and could hear the command station clicking off.

Alan,

I've looked at your setup on your website and it's impressive. But I'm nowhere in your league when it comes to electronics.

I've ordered the power supplies and auto-reversers from Bill Brillinger and will make sure the quarter test works as it should.
