I have a question about using Tomix power controllers in North America. I understand a step-up step-down converter is needed because the current from the...
Has anyone put two of the mini tomix turnouts together for a cross over? i am curious what the rail spacing comes out to when you do. Would love to see if this...
tomix and kato dont sell these, you get them from electronics places mainly. you need a 110-120v step down transformer to 100v which is what the tomix power...
