Whilst the RailKing S gauge locomotives can operate
with a traditional 12 to 16 volt (dc or ac output) transformer/controller
the use of a modern sound compatible controller will allow the full
benefit of the Protosound-3 units that are built into these models. If all
the track-powered locomotives are under digital command control then the
transformer need only provide a fixed ac output. Using MTH controllers
there are basically two options; firstly there is the Z-4000
transformer-controller (which itself takes a 110 volt input so you may
need a step-down transformer) which is sufficiently heavy duty to provide
10 amps at 18 volts on both of the throttle outputs and will also provide
basic sound control (whistle, bell). Secondly the DCS handset in
combination with a TIU can be used to control multiple locomotives (and
also trackside accessories with the AIU), the TIU can be fed with 18 to 22 volts ac or
dc from a plain transformer or set of batteries. We have heard of people
using NiCd, NiMH and traditional lead-acid cells as power sources, with
MTH and other controllers.
Please note that the controllers and maintenance items are being moved
to the Common Items category in the category frame at left.
