When I purchased this 3-4 years ago from Scott's Odds and Ends (now out of business) it was highly recommended as additional protection for layout electronics and trains.
Google searches by me for this don't produce meaningful hits, and searching OGR produces no hits.
Have not found the instructions that came with it yet, but is this still used and recommended?
Thanks - Alan

Thanks wmcwood,
Good to know they are still around DBA Train Electrics.
However I didn't see any information on legacy products. Maybe I'm wrong and what I have was purchased somewhere else and isn't a type of TVS.
I just purchased a complete new DCS set to replace a rev H1 TIU that was declared unrepairable. I'd like to install some extra protection for my engines, DCS and Legacy systems as I'm building a new layout. Can anyone direct me to the current "hot" setup?
Tons of threads on TVS including evaluation of this product. Search TVS - a diode for less than $2 that will help do what you want went placed around your layout.

Alan,
The DTK series surge suppressors were replaced with the TVS-4 suppressor by the time I took over the Scotts line several years ago. If you wish, I can email you the instructions that came with the DTK unit. Drop me a note at neil at trainelectrics dot com.

Thanks for the offer Neil, I have sent you a message at Train Electrics.
And thank you Ralph, I was able to find information about tests run on this DTK and lots of threads about TVS.

I just purchased the DTK-4Z from Trainz. There were no instructions in the sealed package. Is there a way I could get copy from you. Trainelectrics.Com is out of business.
Thank you
