Well that is was too easy!!! No doubt I will go DCC in the future, so I wont remove decoders etc from the train.

My son is playing with the locos/ trains that I had when I was a child and the ability to run DCC locos alows me to upgrade for myself and him.

Once again thanks for the help.

 



I had heard somewhere that the train won't run on 12 volt DC and I will fry the electrics because DCC uses AC current. I don't want to use DCC gear at all. I just want to plug my DCC loco into a 12 volt DC power supply.

Are you sure that this is OK?


Thanks

 

I have the opportunity to buy a new DCC installed bachmann 2 8 0 Spectrum series loco. I do not have DCC and don't want to go that way.
Can I rewire the loco (ie remove the DCC components) and plug plain old 12 volt DC off the wheel pick ups into the existing motor?

Thanks.
