DC Power Supply and Carrera Digital

[fourshipp]

I am building a 6x16 Carrera digital layout and want to use a separate digital DC power supply such as this.

I’ve seen both 5A and 10A models. What size is best?

How do you wire this into the Carrera control module. I have the newer style module built into a straight track section, not the black box.

Thanks.

That's basically the one I have, 10A 30V. 7 amps are good for the control unit, which I think you said you have. I cut the cord off of the Carrera P/S and soldered it to the leads going to the after market P/S. Install a inline fuse holder on the positive side and use a 7 amp fast burn fuse.

Thanks. I can do all that. Easy peas lemon squeezy!
