The 

Select

 

unit can have stored in its memory 10 digitally controlled locomotives

any one time the 

Select

can have running (providing the power is available) or on standby,10 locomotives.

This is more than 

 for an above average layout, however should an eleventh loco be “called up”, one of

the previous 10 locomotives will be removed from 

Select’s

memory. The locomotive that is removed, will be

the locomotive that has the lowest current Speed address compared to the other 9.

Alternatively, if all 10 locomotives are stationary, the locomotive with the lowest address number will be removed.

Control Up to 10 Locomotives

The transformer included with the

 

Select

unit will probably provide enough power to allow for three locomotives

to be running at any one time, providing the models used are fitted with power efficient motors. Should more
power be needed the 

Select

should provide enough power for an average layout.

If under special circumstances even more power is needed it may become necessary for a “Booster” unit to be
fitted.This will entail the track circuit to be broken up into

sections to which the Boosters

connected.
