Title: Turntable
Post by: glsummers on February 12, 2008, 11:24:17 AM
I installed a walthers turntable that is installed and ready for indexing. I am running DCC throughout. In the instructions it says nothing about special wiring for DCC. Do you have to wire the TT in a special manner when using DCC? Thanks

If it's a manual table, you don't have to do anything as long as it indexes well and the TT tracks make electrical contact with the lead tracks.  Forward and reverse are decoder functions,  forward in, turn it around, forward out. Of course if you want to turn it around then back into the house, you have to hit reverse.

The turntable is the new one they have out that is automatic and all you have to do is index it. I just don't know if you have to have some kind of DCC hookup. Thanks

It might have to have the sides isolated, but I wouldn't know for sure.

Here's a link on what to, it seems dead easy'

Scroll down until you come to "New Walther's Turntable"  About half way.

I have the 90ft, running on DC, and it's works a treat.  It's only decent Walther's brand product I've ever bought.
