Jan 16, 2020 · I was wondering about the mixing of AC and DC locomotives in a consist. During prolonged slow-speed/high-current operations, and assuming the DC unit(s) are trailing, how does the engineer in the lead AC unit know and respect the traction motor limitations of the DC unit(s) which cannot endure anywhere near what an AC unit can.

If you don't feel like paying Amazon's inflated prices, try MonoPrice. Total with shipping for six is a little more than Amazon's price for one!

Skip to main content. Recommendations wanted for AC & DC voltage gauges | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

If you run postwar and prewar, then why do you need DC? I happen to have some G gauge trains, and it would be nice to not have to invest in separate power supplies.

That's too much voltage for prewar and postwar trains, and there isn't a good throttle/controller available to handle and cap that much …

In your second photo, I can clearly read "AC/DC Commander" on the green bottom board. This is an ERR product but it does not have cruise. You would need to replace the AC/DC Commander with a Cruise Commander to get constant speed cruise control.

Wiring the motors in series is a good move no matter what. Honestly your best and only option to achieve any type of independent control would be to install an ERR AC/DC commander. (I wouldn't spend extra money for the Cruise Commander because in my experience, the inexpensive can motors in those Alcos are prone to cogging , and don't respond well to any …

Jan 3, 2024 · This building reminds me of the gym. When I go during the day, they're serenading the 70+ year olds with AC/DC music when they should probably be playing 50's/60's music. Seems a little modern and out of touch to me.

Apr 11, 2024 · Many Lionel products (trains, engines, and action or sound cars) 18V AC is recommended maximum. Many accessories are 10-16V and some have specific requirements so ALWAYS read the manual. Again, some like the swing ride must have 16V AC, others that might be on the high side. My advice and rule for our club layout- never ever go over 19V to the …
