Yes it is 14V 10 A DC (rectifier) for heating. The transfo is a multi output type, I use 16v AC to power the points. Because of heavy draw, one loco only can wait hot. For more, each loco should have its own siding and transformer rectifier.
Remember that a loco so powered is out of control and not protected against dry boiler. It is wise not to exceed 10 minutes simmering. Make sure not to connect both current, reversers are the answer.
Hi ! sorry my French is too poor to write to you in French. I can't see the output rating of the transformer you use to keep the standby trains hot in the sidings. Does it say 14V 10 Amps ? How many trains will it keep on simmer in the sidings ?
Many thanks and well done on your anatomy of an A4 very helpful indeed thank you.
