Title: Spectrum Heavyweight passenger cars and DCC
Post by: Barney on March 06, 2009, 01:16:56 PM

I have just purchased 3 Bachmann Spectrum Heavyweight passenger cars for use on my HO DCC layout. My question is: Are these cars with interior lighting for use on DC only or can they be used on DCC also? And if they are meant for DC, what is the procedure for converting them for use on DCC? Any information would be most helpful.

Dear Barney,
They'll be fine on DCC without modification.
Have fun!

Thanks. I had read on one of the bulletin boards that they were meant for DC only and shorted out when used on DCC because of the higher voltage. I'm glad that I won't need to modify them.
