Good Idea? BAd Idea?
SO as mentioned on a past post I have/will receive a free Dynatrol System. Will it be a good Idea to just wire the receiver directly to the track as to just have use of the tethered control. I have heard a short could destroy the receiver so would a bulb or something similar between it and the track work? I look forward to what yyou can say and until next time of good idea bad idea, Keegan is out.

Has anyone used Dynatrol?
This is much older primitive control but I have received a system free of charge for use on my switching layout. How well is this system and would you recommend it. I am planning on installing the reciever in an older Kato SW2 (photo attached) but not sure how to fit it as the metal frame is tight and not sure if I could get it in the cab. Any help is appreciated.
