Another Relco Question

Feb 04, 2004 4 Replies

Ok; thanks to people on this group, I have now wired up a Relco unit. Question is: How do I know it's working? There are no lights on it, I cannot hear it buzzing and it's not warm either - despite being switched on for 5+ hours (as I write).

Any time loco encounters a dirty bit of track you should get a nice flash/spark between the wheels and the track as the HT vapourises the crud.

Just stick your finger across the track/terminals, you should feel a noticeable tingle if it's on.

Or get your cat to try it out.

But only if there's plenty of headroom, other it'll brain the cat when it jumps six feet vertically. :-)
