The strips can be cut every other LED and there are cut mark lines to Sun, 08 Nov 2009 13:40:18 GMT Greg http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WiringForDCC/message/3832 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WiringForDCC/message/3832 Thanks Max, I did find the part number on the relay and it is either a Fairchild Semiconductor or Fujitsu part. I couldn't find a datasheet though.

Have you tried reversing the coil leads - Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:48:35 GMT wirefordcc http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WiringForDCC/message/3825 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WiringForDCC/message/3825 Stuart, You may need to contact CVP Products (maker of the Easy DCC) for the details on modifying their booster.

Big problem. If the point rails aren't flush up against the stock rails, you have created a situation where the wheels can pick the point rail and derail.
