Track Siding Power/Switching | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

EastonOOGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBER

I'm using a Ross switch with DZ 2500, it works great. The attached picture shows that it leads to two dead end sidings. It's connected to a DZ 1008 relay. The straight (main) siding stays powered and the power is off on the other siding until the switch is diverted to that section. What I'm trying to solve:

I'd like to have power off on the main section when I switch to the other siding as well. I've tried several things, done the research here, but can't figure out how to make this happen. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Terry

PS I've tried using the blue wire again (both tracks are powered), I tried the white wire from the 1008, nothing, etc.

I think I get what you're after. In which case their website shows this wiring for a DZ-2500 DZ-1008 combo controlling a 2-aspect dwarf based on switch position.

In your case the DZ-1008 would steer transformer "hot" to the center-rail of one or the other siding.

Stan, you are the man! Likely not the 1st time you've heard that.

Took me less than 5 minutes since I used terminal strips.

Worked perfectly! Really appreciate it. Thank you much Stan!!!

The Forum is great!
