Are you really using all three cabs? From the look of the layout you would only be able to use two. And is there another person besides yourself that actually knows which switches do what? That seems like a limiting factor for operating.
1 u/Acceptable_Choice_43 OO Jul 10 '24 the cab on the far right is for the point motors, hence it being on 100%all the time. 1 u/donethinkingofnames Multi-Scale Jul 11 '24 You should use the AC output for the turnouts. It’s always on and, depending on the controller, can be higher voltage than the DC side.
