You could use one power supply to control the entire layout, but then, both trains would operate at roughly the same speed all the time. That's not very realistic. To solve the problem, LGB offers two options. The traditional option is to create electrically isolated track "blocks." Just install 10260 Insulated Rail Joiners between the inner and outer switches. That would electrically isolate the inner block from the outer block. Just add another power supply—one for each oval—and you're ready to go. (See Chapter 8 for more information.) The modern option is to use the LGB Multi-Train System. This easy-touse system lets up to eight people operate up to eight trains on the same track at the same time…without electrically isolated track blocks. (See Chapter 9 for more information.) 33
34 10560 12010 50910 3 4 Trafo Under Control To help you control your growing railroad empire, the wizards at Lehmann created the "EPL" system. The EPL system is an integrated program of switch drives, contacts, controls and other electric devices you can use for remote and automatic control of your layout. The EPL system is explained in detail in Chapter 9, but to get you started, here are two of the most basic—and essential—EPL functions. Switch Control: As your layout grows, some switches may be inconvenient to operate manually. That's why the LGB program includes a variety of electric switches that can be controlled remotely. Each LGB electric switch includes a 12010 "EPL" Switch A B C D 3 4 3 4 51750 Drive. The drive pushes the "points" of the switch from side to side to change the direction of the switch. Hint: An LGB manual switch can be converted into an electric switch by replacing the manual drive box with a 12010 Switch Drive. The conversion is simple. Just remove two screws to remove the manual drive box, and install the 12010 using the same two screws. The drive can be installed on either side of the switch, depending on your space requirements. Up to four 12010 Switch Drives (or other EPL devices, like the 10560 Electric Uncoupler) can be controlled with one 51750 Control Box. The electrical connections are easy. Just follow the color coding on the 51750. Connect the black and white terminals ("3" and "4") on the back of the 51750 to the black and white terminals ("3" and "4") on the back of any LGB power supply with AC output terminals. Then connect one set of orange and white terminals on the 51750 Control Box to the orange and white terminals on the 12010 Switch Drive. Now you're in control. You can change the direction of the switch just by pushing a button on the box. Hint: LGB color-coded cables, like 50130 Twin Lead Orange/White and 50140 Twin Lead Black/White, make EPL connections fast and easy. The wire is properly sized to fit EPL terminals, and the insulation is made to withstand outdoor exposure. The 51750 is weather-resistant, and it can be installed outdoors without special protection. Mounting tabs on the base of the box make it easy to attach the 51750 to a table or control board. Side posts, included with older 51750 Control Boxes and 51800 On/Off Control Boxes, make it easy to "piggy back" several control boxes together to make a large control panel. The posts are wired to the AC source (terminals "3" and "4") to eliminate the need for extra wiring to the power supply.
