Title: Reversing
Post by: full maxx on December 10, 2011, 05:06:32 AM
The Bachmann reversing module says 5 amps....does this means it will handle the 5 amp booster or it needs the 5 amp booster ... thanks

full maxx -

You do not need 5amps to run the module, but it would not hurt either. All the module does is reverse the polarity when your loco returns back onto the main line in the opposite direction.

Just want to know. Where does the module say 5 amps?

Looked right over that, but it will still work unless you run larger locos or multiple locos at one time. I have the 5 amp booster so I guess that's why I over looked it.
Watching Bachmann's video  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xb9w9on05g  and reading in the product search does not reveal you need five amps.
