Diode matrix for Tomix and Kato turnouts

[Yumekukan]

Hi all,

 

Would it be possible to build a diode matrix to control Tomix and Kato turnouts? Any ideas?

 

Cheers,

Mark,

 

There is a very nice capacitor discharge circuit that is very simple to build to use with kato and tomix points by ray stillwell. Neat design and you can do interesting things with it like indicator lights, memory and ladders. He only emails out the circuit as he does not want to post on the web. PM me and I can send you his email to request the PDFs. Very nice chap and very helpful.

 

Problem with a diode circuit will be the manual powering from a switch which can potentially burn your coils.

 

Cheers,

 

Jeff
