Hello,
I got an recommendation for Mecktronics while looking for an analog train control. I've bought five pieces of the SSS control, but now I am lost.
I've let Google translate the documentation, but there are still a lot of questions left.
I want to control a simple circle with five blocks, no track switches or anything else.
1. I need two transformers (one AC and one DC)? How much power is recommended for 3-4 trains?
2. The connection is a mystery forme: with "2.1 Voeding" of the first document "componenten", I have two different ways, where the upper one has two DC and two AC transformer parts.
Then there are additional diodes circuits in both drawings: Where do I get these? There are nowhere mentioned in the texts.
3. The 3rd way (doc 2 "toespaaingen", 1.1 "standard opstelling" at page 5) has an additional start/stop switch?
I am really sorry, but that is very confusing for me
The two LED is only for indication, I can leave them out?
Besides that, the track itself is also unclear to me:
4. I just do 4 interuptions on the plus track to get five blocks? But then the trains would stop pretty early at the beginning of each block and reach into the former block?
I am really sorry to bother with these kind of beginners questions. I am pretty sure, once you get the first step, that the systems is genious, very flexible and easy to expand. But so far I don't get the first step...
Thank you very much for any help in advance,
Frank
