I have some strombecker track that I picked up a few months back and other set set last week. Im not sure on how to power the track I have two power packs one of each track. How would I and where would I power the track? I dont have a power track like the HO scale tracks.

hey Taz,
it "Should" have a powerstrip section 4 each track like other 1/32's...

if not, u can soilder the wires 2 the underside of a section 2 make 1..

"I'ld" soilder "4" seperate wires..1 ..2each rail, then figure out polarity/dirrections w/ splicing the controllers/ground wires 2 the transformer/controls...:thumbsup:

that way, no FUBAR's.. OR easilly correctable 1's :thumbsup:

I will look more at the track and see but I dont think I seen one. But I have been lookin online and found some might just end up buying one.

hey Taz,
w/ just go'n by my Eldon track sets (late 60's)....
they have a "Plug" power strip, so u can't FUBAR connections :freak:

make sure if u buy 'em, that they r the same track generations....
not sure if strombeck changed track styles

Bad news looks like the $25.00 one is the one you ned. The $15.00 could work depending on your skills at adfapting. it will mate up with your present track just have to " engineer" the wiring.

Cool thanks.

couldn't you just build your own and mount it to a thin board with a terminal block from RS. then mount on the board? $6 is way cheaper than $15 or even $25.

 

[tazman052186]

Thats another way i was thinking.
