Took the plunge

Alan:
Adding to what Al said... you will know if the wires are too small or too long if the HC reports a Low Voltage warning while operating a locomotive. DC locomotives simply slow down if the wires are too small. RP will report a warning.

nodcc4me:
While on the subject of low voltage warnings, you may also get one if your wheels are dirty. Before you run any RP equipped locomotives on your existing track, clean the rails good. DC/DCC powered track gets pretty gummed up. That won't be a significant problem with RP.

Edavis:
Ok thanks, The wires I use now are pretty small and just connected to the track with the rail joiners in one spot. I don't have any feeders at this time. I think the wires came with the techll controller. I am guessing I will need more feeders to provide power to farther track?. I can run my dc locomotive all the way around without problems.thx for the help guys.

Alan:
If your DC locos work all way round the odds are so will RP. I wouldn't change anything unless there is a problem.

Edavis:
Ok that's what I'll try.thanks again
