How Ideal Power Enhanced Model Railway Control with Gaugemaster Infinity

Powering Innovation in Model Railway Control with Gaugemaster Infinity

Client: Gaugemaster, a leading manufacturer and retailer of model railway control systems.

Project: Gaugemaster Infinity – Transforming Model Railway Control

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.
