TARIFF NOTE: The tariff tax, skyrocketing shipping costs, and AI demand causing electronics parts shortages and increases, has increased our costs by 60-70%. We will try to not raise prices, but the uncertainties of all this makes it difficult to plan. We will keep you posted if there are any changes.

USING MULTIPLE POWER SUPPLIES: If you are using an EX-CSB1 or other setup using power districts and ordering a separate power supply, note that CSB1s ordered with an EX-MotorShield (4 track outputs), come with a splitter for you to use one power supply. If you need more than 5A total, then you can purchase a "cage" or "bench" type power supply or certainly use two power supply from us. One power supply connects to the CSB1 and the other connects to the EX-MotorShield8874. They are automatically grounded together. NOTE: If using cage type power supplies make sure all grounds (earths) are connected at the same point.

PSU STYLE / APPEARANCE: Due in part to the tariffs and voltage selected, the size or style of the actual power supply may differ from the image. The power cord may be attached or removeable.

Overview

Our Standard power supplies are a "brick" or "laptop" type with a 5.5 x 2.1mm connector to fit our CSB1 and EX-MotorShield8874. Z and N Scale locos can use 12V, while N and HO can use 15V. 0. Select the correct voltage on the radio buttons when adding to your cart. Larger scales will usually need a higher voltage, please check with us if you are using 0, Garden, or Riding Scale. NOTE FOR N SCALE: There is some overlap of voltage with N Scale, many N Scale users prefer 15V for added torque on grades and higher top end speed. Please check the manual on all of your decoders to make sure they can handle 15V if you choose that option.
