Locked Walthers DCC turntable


CenturyLink Customer
 

I am using that turntable on my Digitrax system with no issues.
I have it set for address 51, that starts at 200 for the switch address.
It's been working fine for 4 years now.

Between which leads did you wire the toggle switch? I am guessing it's on the control box side (terminal 3/4) rather than the table track power side (terminal 1/2).

Correct. I actually only have 2 wires going to it. I ran the DCC input to 3 & 4. Bridge track power from 3 - 1 & 4 - 2. I did add an on/off switch to one side with a SPST switch. That shuts it down.
I did that so I can remove the bridge when I am working in that area.
I am doing the scenery on that section right now.
The power is off to my Turntable & the bridge is out.
I can still run trains.

Again thanks Jay. I have a block detector on the turntable track. I was able to keep track power/block detection on the table but turn the TT controller on and off with the toggle switch.

I will only control the TT motion via the control box or thru macros on the throttle.

I've had two Walthers 90 foot TTs.

The original, which had a better controller. That gave up the ghost a few years ago.

I then purchased the newer DCC version. I've had it installed for about three years.

It use to work until about a year ago. Now it just rotates non-stop, ignoring all the programmed stops. Reprogramming doesn't work. It just rotates, endlessly.

Be warned.

Cheers
