Does any body have any expercence with Atlas Walthers Cornerstone O W2705, Operating Oil Pump (Built-up)? Some places that it runs on DC and other places say that it will run on AC or Dc. Any thoughts & if DC what would I need to make it run on DC or prefably with a rectifier
Thank You

From the AC power source hook 2 wires from the transformer to a bridge rectifier terminals marked ~. The + and - from the bridge go to the oil rig. If terminals are polarity sensitive they should be marked. I would use a 4 amp or more bridge rectifier. You could put a 470 uf 35 volt capacitor in proper polarity across the + and - of the bridge,not sure it would improve things. Adjust voltage input down so the pump just works,then add a couple volts.

I run mine on 12v dc. Dale's suggestion will work fine, but I use a couple of dc supplies for all lighting, track signals, dc accessories, and my turnout controls.
