ADDING MORE POWER TO YOUR LAYOUT

Trains (especially those with lights) consume a lot of power. The Commander delivers a maximum of 2.5 Amps of current to your layout. If your locomo- tives and cars use more then 2.5 Amps, it is necessary to split the layout in several power sections and feed each section with an extra "booster" which provides more amperage. Terminals C & D on your Commander can be used to wire in extra boosters. For more information about adding power stations to your layout, please see the DCC section of Atlas' web site at www.atlasrr.com.
