I've added some # 71 Lamp Posts and other lights recently - and now I've noticed my "Direction" isn't quite working on the CW-80.
I have 11 light bulbs running - if I disconnect them - the Direction control comes back - and seems to work as it should.
Am I maxing the accessory rail out? Or do I have something wired wrong?
I have a bunch of Type 1033s - would they be better for this kind of lighting?

I run my switches and lights both incandesant and LEDs off a1033. Use both the variable and fixed works very well. Opens the 80 for other usages.
The CW-80 can only handle 5 amps total, that's track plus accessory needs to be under 5 amps. And did you set the voltage output of the acc port? Unless you are running a long passenger train, having 11 lamps on the acc port shouldn't be an issue. So what do you mean by the direction isn't quite working?

When I engage the throttle - it runs backwards - and won't change direction with the "Direction" button.
Disconnect the accessory line and it works fine.
I'm not familiar with anywhere to set the voltage on accessory port on the CW-80? Is that an internal setting?
