I am trying to centralize my light control through a single AMC2. I am fully aware of the warnings to ONLY use the AMC2 on incandescent lights. I'm not sure the specifics of why this limitation exists but I accept that up front.
Amoung the items I am trying to drive from the AMC2 from the light control is the Lionel 6-83490 Lighted Coaling Tower. I recently connected it to the AMC2 and initially got lights to work (very shortly). Then I encountered a short inside the Coaling Tower that forced me to disconnect it from the AMC2. I believe the majority of the lights on the tower are incandescent but there is a circuit board that drives the blinking red light on top.
I'm trying to understand if the AMC2 limitations are the root cause behind the short OR if this was simply a coincidence. Does anyone have any insight on the AMC2 limitations to better under what I have encountered?
