• Tip: Insulate the connector closest to the center rail on both tracks
• Tip: Power brake module and signal with power bus or outside sections
• Tip: You need a 16v AC power supply to power braking section
• Tip: You can use old Märklin power supplies (66471, 6647 or 600x)
• Tip: You can use Viessmann 5200 power supply or similar 16V AC
