This might help yours run a little better. It helped me as I run mine with DCC.

 ;D Thanks Ken and Jim.....I thought that was the message I was getting.....I will just isolate the two......Keeping one DCC and the other DC......Does a loco have to be "DCC Ready" in order to install it ??? I have one diesel but it came with a set and I don't think its DCC ready....Thanks again...

 ;) I have to agree with doneldon....Try the tomy and tomica if you can find them....Life like is ok as you did not spend much and so if broken not much of a loss....Take the advice of these other posters,I.E....do not PUSH locos around track,etc....Have fun and "keep the wheels spinning"...... ;)

 ;D Thanks for the info Jim......I did not know that but it makes sense......Would you say then that its best not to run both on the same layout??? Basically I have two, one elevated above the other and separated electrically......Thanks again,John  ;)
