The DB150 also works as a powerful booster for other DCC compatible command stations, too. Intelligent Auto Reversing Booster. "Look Ma, no hands!!!" This option is selectable when you are operating one DB150 or DCS100 as the main system booster and an additional DB150 (or other DB100 series booster) as the Auto Reverser. With this configuration, you can totally automate one or more reverse loops. The train crosses the gap, if the DB150 senses a short, it automatically matches the track polarities and the train keeps going. Note: You can handle reverse loops conventionally if you do not wish to add an extra booster to your system, the auto reverse feature was added to the DB150 primarily as an "extra goodie." You can also use PM42 Quad Power Manager to automate reversing sections if you don’t need the additional power provided by a booster. DCC Command Station for Genesis II or Empire Builder II Set.
