When I connect the 5A booster to my all-Bachmann HO layout, the auto-reverse modules no-longer work. The booster and auto-reverse act like they are having a timing conflict. Everything else has work fine with a few adjustments.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
Found the problem and it was me.
I had connected the auto-reverse module input to the same terminal rerailer as the EZ controller which was some track distance from the auto-reverse module input connection. (At the time, I didn't have another terminal rerailer.) Everything work fine with the EZ controller, so I didn't see the need to get another terminal rerailer . But with the 5A booster connected this configuration did not work. I had to move the auto-reverse module input connection so that it was "track" close to the auto-reverse module output.
Over & Out
My auto-reverse module stopped working when I connected it to the track will short (~1ft) leads! It made sounds like it was having a timing conflict with the 5A booster. When I went back to the long leads supplied with the unit, the problem went away.
