Keep Alive installation w/ Railpro

[TwinStar]

Where did the KA install with bridge rectifier diagram go? I can't find it after the rearrangement.
Thanks.

I apologize. I was looking for a drawn diagram and completely glossed over that.

No Worries Jacob!

And I agree with Kevin, the KA's work as advertised and the Bridge Rectifier does not cause any issues when MUing with units that do not use them. All of my Locos are KA equipped.

I had been considering RailPro with the Stanton BPS for control on a small On30 layout.  But would RailPro with a keep-alive pretty much work as well?  There wouldn't be any lengthy un-powered sections, just dirty nickel silver track, insulated un-powered frogs, and slow speeds.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't.  The keep-alive's (especially the larger ones) can last for a good amount of time, depending on how much current your motor is drawing.  I'd say wiring up a KA is easier and takes up less space than the Stanton BPS.  It's certainly worth a try.

Your keep-alive equipped loco still doesn't have enough juice to get across all that dirty track? Maybe a laxative will help.

Keep you eye peeled for ionic electrolyte super capacitors coming onto the market. Maybe your next keep-alive will run for hours!

I thought about adding KAs to my engines. Instead, I repaired my track, replaced some switches, cleaned the track and coated the track with graphite. I haven't had any problems or the need for KAs in a year+. Even my DCC equipped engines run better.

Bravo Dean. Treat the problem, not the symptom.
