Wrong direction.

Ya but then I have my revel cars and all the proxy cars I'm running.

Your base look like this?

I am guessing he means all his other cars, not just Carrera?

Is your power connected to a Carrera blackbox part # 20515 or a 30344 ?

[Gameover]

The one Harry posted a pick of the newer type

[HomeRacingWorld]

Then it's the analog.

The electrical boxes I posted are super cheap by the way. My Lowe's has then for 46 cents.

But not using stock power supply or stock controllers.

[Gameover]

Ya i know its analog. Ill be trying your driver stations harry. Then i hope i can go left :)

[Norm]

Is this one that you are using ?

Yes i believe so.

Good luck with your home made Carrera modified power track.
p.s. I'm using both analog and digital blackbox on my same 150 Carrera track and it works just perfectly with the help of a 3 way, 6 contacts switch !

Thanks norm! Your track sounds fun!

ok harry i wired my track like the picture you posted..... now i need controllers. i know nothing and you know all :). am i wired for positive or negative?

For 1/32nd and 1/24th tracks the positive rail should be on the right looking in the direction of travel. Track polarity refers to the direction that power goes through the controllers. If you are using resistor controllers the power can go either way, so track polarity is not an issue with those. If you want to use electronic controllers you have to be careful. Most electronic controllers only work in one direction. All 1/32nd sets are wired for negative polarity, most club tracks and commercial raceways are wired for positive polarity. Some makers have controllers for either polarity. Here is a schematic for positive polarity. If you try to change the direction that the cars will run by switching the leads at the power supply you will also change the track polarity. In order to change the direction of travel without changing the polarity you have to switch the wires that go to the track rails.

here is how im wired..... cars go from left to right. so by judging from you pic and this one im positive polarity.... i fried my pm controller last night i think cause it negative :(

[RazorJon]

do you have a digital multi meter?

if not go get one and call me, it has to be digital, an analog meter wont do it
