Title: turntable ?
Post by: propmeup1 on February 16, 2016, 06:09:36 AM
If I missed it in the fine print i'm sorry, is this forum only for Bachmann products or can I ask about other ?  I have the Walthers 130' turntable and I'm having difficult hooking up the wires for DCC. The directions show one thing and I been told other ways to do it either on line or video.  either way the table make a buzzing sound even when not running. I tried it DC and it works fine with no noise.

I'm confused on the wiring coming and going from the power and tracks,

Here is a pre-Thank you for any help,

Keith

Ok, everyone ready for a good laugh :-[.  I did have everything wire correctly for DCC. However since my turntable and roundhouse have been sitting for a year now and I am finally getting to the point to run it, well I put an old Rivorossi big boy on the table just for show while the other 44 stalls have been filled all with steam mind you. 
The buzzing was coming from the DC big boy sitting on DCC rails,  Duhhhh !I finally went over to look at the table first hand and felt it. It wasn't the motor in the table buzzing it was the engine.

OK i'm all set but you can all learn from this and enjoy the story, pass it please,

Keith ;)

Now you have learned something new.
I have had lots of these type of learning experiences since doing DCC from 2007. ::)
And I'm sure many more fun ones will come. ;D

When I first switched to DCC, I bought my equipment from a long time modeler who told me when his club did the switch they had a head on collision in the first ten minutes. It only took me 5!
