Overview:
Gaugemaster, well-known for its high-quality model railway control systems, embarked on a project to modernise and enhance the user experience for model railway enthusiasts. The result was the Gaugemaster Infinity system, an advanced railway control system available in both analogue and digital versions. This project required a reliable, high-performing power supply solution that could support the sophisticated features of the Infinity system. Gaugemaster selected our off-the-shelf power supply units to power their new products.
The 15DYS830-180166W-K for their analogue version and the 15DYS865-150400W for their digital version.
Gaugemaster’s objectives for the Infinity system included:
- Modernisation: Creating a system that modernised conventional analogue control while also offering a feature-rich digital version.
- Wireless Functionality: Both versions needed to support wireless remote handsets, requiring stable and efficient power supplies.
- Scalability: The power supplies had to support the system’s expandable architecture, allowing users to add more tracks and control units as needed.
- Reliability: Ensuring the power supplies could consistently meet the demands of model railway enthusiasts, who require dependable performance for complex layouts.
Solution:
From day one, we worked closely with Gaugemaster’s design and engineering teams to ensure they had the right power supply solutions for the Infinity system. Understanding the specific needs of both the analogue and digital versions, we provided expert guidance in selecting the most suitable off-the-shelf power supplies:
Plugtop Adapter – 15DYS830-180166W-K for the Infinity Analogue Model Railway Control:
We recommended this external Plugtop adapter for its ability to provide stable and reliable power essential for the Infinity Analogue system. This ensured that the system could support wireless control of multiple track sections from a single remote handset, delivering a seamless user experience.
Desktop Power Supply Unit – 15DYS865-150400W for the Infinity Digital SOVEREIGN Model Railway Control:
We identified this external desktop power supply as the ideal solution. Compact yet powerful, it provided the necessary power for the system’s advanced digital features, including customisable control of model locomotives and accessories, and reliable wireless communication.
The Completed Project:
Infinity Analogue SOLO Model Railway Control Package
Infinity Digital SOVEREIGN Model Railway Control Package
Throughout the project, our team provided ongoing support to Gaugemaster, ensuring that the power solutions were perfectly aligned with their system’s requirements and performance expectations.
Having a reliable source of fully certified products is paramount to the success of any product and ongoing support makes keeping our product up to date a simple task. The team at ideal power have been super helpful as always and assisted us all the way from prototype to production and we now both benefit from all their patience.
We would and do recommend this company as they have been a loyal and competitive supplier of ours for many years but above all their products are reliable and robust.
Conclusion:
The Gaugemaster Infinity project demonstrates how the right off-the-shelf power supply units can meet the demanding requirements of modern electronics systems.
Our 15DYS830-180166W-K and 15DYS865-150400W units provided Gaugemaster with the reliable power solutions needed to bring their innovative model railway control system to life, helping them achieve a successful product launch and satisfied customers.
