Having aquried one of these beasts (mine included 3 track controlers with 3 transformers 2 remote handsets and a 5 point switching unit) i have stuggled with getting it all to work all at the same time.
Only once was i able to get all three recivers coded and working at the same time and their performance was less than reliable then when i turned it back on it the morning all the codes were gone having to spend valuble testing time resetting it all
Its only a visit from Mike (beavercreek) at the weekend and his valient efforts to sort the problem and something he said got me thinking so on sunday morning bright and early ripped it all out and started again bingo its now a fantastic. system
Apart from the fact i got no instructions with it i used all the wires that came with it and installed it all in one box nice safe and dry thinking if it work for its previous owner it must work for me. Mike wondered if having the transformers so close to the remote controlers might be inferfering with the seperate signals so what i did was keep all the transformers in the box and moved the three recivers into seprate trackside buildings next to the parts of track they each control. straight away all coded up with not a problem and i had a trouble free afternoon and evening running 4 trains at the same time
Thanks Mike you da man
