As our garden is not very straight i need to have two locs to pull the coaches to get accross on each train

The box on the left is to stop the trains and to handle the switches

Lights in houses also get their power there

the box on the right is the power supply

The original playmo powersupply gives 1 amp by 18 volt , means 18VA ( check your power supply)

That was way to low , so I builded something myself

As you can see I have several Locs to feed

Building myself a powersupply  got me  20 amp spread over 7 regulators with a maximum from 35 volt

This means the trains drive a lot faster and have more power

I reccomand not to pass 24 Volt with playmotrains if you build yourself a power supply

On the video "Zugfahrt 04", there's a yellow diesel locomotive that goes in front of a 4300 train station which has a couple raised 7400 platforms around it, it goes around a loop then it then comes back in front of station again at time 24 seconds.  Is this a reversing loop you have here, or did I miss a second set of tracks?

Great layout! by the way.
