Title: Turntable to DC power for 46298
Post by: [email protected] on September 22, 2024, 02:49:04 PM
 Hello,
I am going to keep the turntable I purchased DC powered for all my old locomotives. The instructions are not very clear on how to do this. I know I need a separate power source so which do you recommend for DC power? I need to take out the encoder and I'm not sure which part to remove, the instructions are not detailed. If you have better instructions or video it would be greatly appreciated. Some online videos talk of a blank to be removed and I don't see that either.

Thanks

if you provided the manufacturer and model number of the turntable it would be a great help.

If you conducted a Google search for the manufacturer and model number and included "instructions" in the search dialog box, you might find something.

Turntable is Bachman 46298 and it is set up for DCC power. The instructions to remove the decoder to make it DC compatible are not detailed enough and the illustrations are vague.
