Title: Bachmann Auto reversing controler speed
Post by: HOART on February 22, 2013, 02:08:27 PM
My Bachmann auto reversing track works great .However ,the slowest speed setting is rather fast . Is there a way to make the throttle control have a slower start up speed ? Another question is if the auto reversing track could be used with a more sensitive power pack ? Thanks for your comments .Art

Dear Art,
I believe the reverse circuit is in the controller itself.  I'm sure someone has the electrical expertise to do what you want; I do not, but I'll ask around.
Have fun!

Dear HOART,

http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/board/index.php/topic,20920.15.html

You could build and put the Dallee circuit described above in your trolly (?) in series with the motor, which will give you brighter lights:

trolley left wheel -----------Dallee diode circuit-------------motor terminal A

trolley right wheel --------------------------------------------motor terminal B


If I knew the exact configuration of the reversing track wiring, (3 connections to track) I could draw the Dallee diode circuit into that, but you would get dimmer lights.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Joe Satnik

Thanks Joe !  It would be nice if I could use a different controller .Not sure if this would even be possible though . Again, THANKS !
