| Post subject: | Power Supply Failure? |
A reader writes: I'm new to G- Scale Model Trains and I was looking for some advice. I was looking for a good power source for GScale Trains. I have an older train with some used tracks. I had a power source that was compatible, but died after using the train for most of one day. If you could point me in the right direction. I would greatly appreciate it. Most of the train shops say it might be the train itself and not the power source. ---------------------------------------------- Does the power supply hum when it's plugged in? You might have to put your ear against it to hear. If it hums, here's a trick I don't usually recommend. Turn the knob up halfway and VERY briefly brush the wires that go to the track against each other. Just a very quick brush. If they spark, your power supply is probably fine. If you do it for more than a quick brush, you run the risk of damaging it. |
