DALLEE PRODUCT SUGGESTION HELP

I've had good luck by just emailing or calling them, explaining what I was trying to do, and they provided whatever goodies were needed. Really good to work with, at least in my case.....and I'm a complete dummy when it comes to electronics.

I've purchased a number of their items (numerous e-units and the new HiLine sound system). It all works great, and has great documentation too. Emails are answered within a day:  info@dallee.com

I like their stuff....contact them.....

Dallee users,Do you need to buy a separate transformer just to power the relays? That is what I have heard. 

Thanks for the great posts everyone!   To answer the "separate transformer" question:  While you don't need to use one, it's always best to do so for two main reasons. First, the spikes from running your train goes right back through the transformer to whatever else is connected to it. In many cases, these spikes exceed 100 volts which can be damaging to other circuitry. That's why we made the Electrical Protection circuit breakers with spike protection. The second reason is that a lot of transformers that are used don't have enough power to power up the train let alone anything else. By using a separate power transformer, you eliminate other possible problems. We have a wall plug in transformer that does the job with spare power for other things (16 Volt AC Wall Transformer ).  Hope that helps you out.

Product may be similar to Trolley stop and go products that are available.  Click on the link.   I've used the Automatic Back-N-Forth for The Fort Pitt High Railer's trolley line.  Power supply was included with the equipment.   I believe it required 14 VAC, supplied.  Power supply for the two boards top in this picture.
