    Can anyone tell me about this unit? I am interested in trying them on a DC layout at this time. It seems like a logical choice to decrease wiring and it will grow with my layout as I plan to switch shortly to DCC.

    The link:

    Thanks,

    This does the same thing as the Digitrax AR1 a section of the PM42, or Tony's PS Rev.

    As I read it, it uses infra red detection to trigger phase reversal in the reversing section rather than the momentary short circuit detection used by Digitrax.

    None of these will control a reverse loop for DC (that requires switching the main), but the TCH unit can be used as an auto-reverse for "back and forth" DC operation.
