As a lot of you will know I am moving away from track power, though currently have a Crest (Aristocraft) 27 mhz TE, and control my points (Switches/Turnouts) via the accessory Rx. I am looking for an alternative to the current system, and have considered the servo system employed by Gap and Rik, though unsure about the transmitter and how exactly this would work. However the TE Revo seems similar to my existing system but obviously newer and still supported. So what are the forum's thoughts on this subject.

P.S. I have read Greg's page on this, and some information is out of date, e.g. the Track Switch Control Rx has 5 outputs not 4 ;)
 
Thanks Jimmy, that entry was put there before the product even shipped... hence the misspelling and lack of formatting. Now fixed.

It should have also been on the receiver/decoder page.

The Revolution stuff is a really good value for the money.

There is a guy called Dave Bodnar who has extensive experience with the system and lots of documentation, I believe I link to his site somewhere in the 8 pages of TE Revolution documentation on my site... you can use the search function, top right on main menu on every page.

Actually I have a a Revolution TX and RX sitting on my shelf that I will most probably never use if only I was in the UK you could have it. Usual price of a six pack of ale would be all that is required.

I have the 27mhz Ariswto system of old and use DCC track power for them. The EPL LFG unitsw work great with these. Aristo spec'd these at 6 to 18 volts a/c or dc but when I did the math the AC peak to peak was 25.45 volts. also when I use DC power to the track, when the engine just starts moving I have the 6 volts to make these work (these units have a built in DC to DC converter to create 18 volts). Works great for me.
