Just a bit of advice from the peanut gallary- I'd run a track voltage
connecting wire between the 2 motors if it is possible. I'm up to 4 (or 5)
different ways of wiring the motors for DCC. Some with the track-connector
still, some with a extra plate, some with F1-connector, some with 2 external
connectors (the two class 25's).
The problem that I have seen is that the motors drop right off when they loose
signal...and if you use momentum, that can cause interesting conflicts if only
one motor drops offline.
