Hi:
I just received my new trolley and I am very please with the way it runs. I have been breaking it in on an 11.5" radius.
I would like to put this into a city scenario; possible dual track to run both ways on the street.
What is the minimum cornering I could use? 11.5" radius in a city is going to give me unrealistically wide streets.
Maybe I should just run a straight line down the main road and use a hidden reversing loop?
Has anyone converted one of these to DCC?
Thanks
Tim
I've gotten it to run on a 4" radius curve with little difficulty (keeping the flextrack bent to 4" was the difficult part). 4-6" radius should be fine for N scale traction.
I am currently in the process of converting my trolleys (Brill/PCC) to DCC. It requires a bit of frame milling and the usual rules of decoder installation apply. It has been done before!
If you do more in N scale traction, you may find this group helpful as well:

Have fun,

Thanks very much. 4" is good news!! If you wouldn't mind posting any issues or cautions on converting these to DCC, I would really appreciate the info.
