Now if I can just steel myself enough I will be taking the motor out of a train
motor and fitting a HO scale decoder inside with the motor outputs going to the
2x2 connector.
I will put this in a train with a modified 12-9V connector cable to a 12V train
motor.
Hey presto! I have a DCC controlled 12V train that can mix it on same tracks as
my 9V DCC locos!
I think this will work real well as the DCC voltage I am using is quite high, at
least 12V so there should be enough to run those old 12V trains again!
IMPORTANT, I must remind myself to tape over the contacts on the bottom of the
12V motor as if those touch the tracks I will quite likely fry the decoder chip.
