 | | Smooth power or PWM for Lego train motors?
|
| I've seen the DCC mod some people have made to motors, and read about the overheating problem. Does DCC provide smooth DC to the motor or PWM? If it's PWM, the motor will heat up twice as much as usual. I once tried a 9V train motor with a 12V (...) (21 years ago, 2-Sep-03, to lugnet.trains)

| | Re: 12 volt track
|
| (...) Back when I was running 12v track, I found a few tricks to keep the trains running reliably. Clean track is a much bigger issue in 12v than in 9v, due to the sliding (rather than rolling) contacts. The two big problems were that (1) dust (...) (23 years ago, 20-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains)

I've not yet been brave enough to use my dremel on Lego like that - I once cut a steel pole outside with the cutting disc and the disc shattered and (...)

| Zhengrong- It will not be possible to use the 4.5 volt or 12 volt track with the 9 volt system. In the 4.5 volt track, the rails are plastic and the train run on batteries. In the 12 volt system, there is a metal strip which attaches down the middle (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)
