Title: Compatibility
Post by: Alex Butner on October 11, 2009, 11:23:05 AM
Will Bachmann trains run with a LGB transformer and Bachmann track? And will LGB trains work with a Bachmann controller? Thanks.

yea bachmann trains will run fine with an lgb controller , should work visa versa aslong as there is no "pulse" function as that can damage LGB locomotives if i remeber correctly !

Yes, it should not be an issue. Both power supplies are straight DC power.
Issues can sometimes occur when running DCC/sound chipped locos with a power supply that has pulse width modulation (like some Aristo units). Though I have run a few chipped LGB locos (including my New Orleans streetcar) on my layout with a PWM power supply without a problem.
