[HO] Starting ceremony of my Atlas .

I have started collecting HO locomotives since 2005 , this is my first time to control my trains in my own tracks , I have no power packs . The two Atlas locomotives were brought from USA to Hong Kong in April and May 2007 while the static Athearn was bought in Hong Kong in July 2006 .

Under 2.5V , only the Athearn C44-9W cannot start while two Atlas run smoothly .

[rockguitarist946]

seriously, buy a bachmann power pack for about 50 bucks(or at least thats what it is where i live) and use that. its a whole lot easier.

[KCR58]

No, I got power pack.

No problem man! Don't listen to these people criticizing your hobby! Enjoy it man, however it is that you do, and it looks like you figured it out!

[pwhite73]

Hey dude, you know what, that is the great part about having a hobby dealing with trains! Some people like filming them, some like driving them, and some, like yourself, like collecting them! I say, welcome to the hobby and congrats on being brighter than most to figure out how to run your loco's almost as if they were on a DCC layout with just a flashlight body and some batteries! Good job!

[KCR58]

Thanks for your information.

Yeah It will It won't hurt your chip at all.

The chips are designed to work either way.

But, If you do decide on DCC I reccomend the Digitrax Zephyr Dcc System.

[Amtrak1194]

will it work for the standard kato power pack cuz i have a dda40x on the way with dcc installed and i'm not sure if i want to do dcc on the layout or not

[meguell3]

DCC changes nothing, guys.

All DCC does is control your locomotive externally so you can run more than one locomotive on one track at the same time.

DCC does not require a specific kind of power (just DC)

DCC also works on regular power packs without recieving any damage to the chip.

[trainzrule5]

well DCC isnt electriity, its really a system. Digital, Comand, Control

[mccunecp]

its not that they use dc or ac they have a ac current going track but there is a sinal going over the rails and no if you put a dc current on the rail it should not fry the ship nothign should happen unless they have a singal one is because they have a bridge riectifer that converts the ac to dc for the motor ect and the chips on teh board and then one more diod that takes the ac singal that is sent from the controld to the chips brain to decode the signal so now dc should not hurt chip.
