Hi all,

I have all my ESU switchpilot servos connected to their own dedicated power supply, which is a 6005 transformer (60 VA) I had spare.

This has been working great until now, because I've connected my level crossing boom gates which are a very slow and delicate movement.
When testing with my ESU lokprogrammer by themselves, they work great.
However when I connected them to the layout supply on the 6005, during operation I noticed they jerked quite badly - something not really noticeable for turnouts.

I am not sure what new PSU I should be looking at buying instead of the 6005 to guarantee a smooth operation - any suggestions/recommendations?

I could also connect the level crossing servos to their own smaller dedicated PSU if its a cheaper alternative.

Well I changed my wiring for the affected Switchpilot to instead use my 60175 booster transformer (which only powers my storage yard and display cabinet anyways) and it has resolved the issue.
