DCS on DC

Joe    I run DC with my DCS and it works fine but I don't have as much track laid as you do but the DCS seems to like the DC, don't have a Bridgewerks power supply either,but a switching supply at 18AMPs not whats recommended! but Im looking out for something  here in Australia.

 I tried a switching supply and had more trouble getting good signal and response. The Bridgewerks is better than the AC bricks with the signal and power distribution.

 I just added 2 more MTH G gauge engines and the amps stayed about the same? Seems like the USA conversion still draws the most. With the volts up at 24, the amp draw is much less? It's working. Joe

I just retried my switching DC supply in passive mode. It runs at 24 volts up to 20amps!. I installed a inline fuse for protection. I just got tens again for signal strength?

  It seems like I'm having more trouble with a (couple?) finicky board(s). It runs better when used often. I believe the signal response is better when the battery is charged? Why does it get worse when not used?

 I guess I'll try a BCR in it next. I can't blame the supply until I get this straigtened out. I really should thank "Tank" again. I didn't realize how big this power supply is. I think overall I need the headroom in current. I wonder if the AC bricks get noisey at full output?
