| | DCC and other electrical tinkering in the Lego Train World

| I noticed a number of posts relating to DCC and the very impressive work that some people have done to bring this into the Lego train world. I thought I would open this new thread to tell you about my activities and Lego trains. I do have a number (...) (21 years ago, 23-Nov-03, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) This may be a bit of optical illusion, for the placement of the oversize diameter place-holder wheels penetrate the 9v rail. Maybe that gives the appearance that the wheels stick out left/right farther than do the 12v wheels? See this (URL) (...) (21 years ago, 11-Nov-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

I'm really hoping that the IR reciever is not permanently coupled the the motor unit. Use a standard 9v (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.year.2006, FTX)

| | Re: DCC chip installed in accessory brick

| 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 (...) (21 years ago, 26-Nov-03, to lugnet.trains)

| | reed switch/codepilot question
