Hi All,
I am new to model railroading and I recently ordered my son a Bachmann DCC train set, model 501. I also got some extra track and some remote turnouts, (not the DCC ones, they were just to expensive), so he can expand his track and I have a few questions I was hoping someone could help with.
1. In order to power the turnouts, I believe I will need an additional power supply, is this correct?
2. If I do, will any power supply do I or should I get something specific?
3. Is there any special way the power supply needs to be connected?
4. How many turnouts can be connected to the power supply? Right now I purchased 3, but if he really gets into it, I will get him more.
Thank you in advance for any and all help!
