Big Blue has inspired some purchases

     I have installed DCC in 5 brass locomotives, 3 of them were steam with the old motors yet I was able to clean and lube them and they do fine with DCC. I also did a diesel with the old motor and it was OK. The one I had trouble with had been custom powered wit 2 of the best can motors that you could buy. It shorted everytime I tried to run it with DCC. I had to find some old Athearn trucks that didn't short and cut back to one motor which was all it needed.  I hope you don't have any problems. I am sure you know to run it on DC first to make sure it runs to begin with. 

     Isn't it nice to have something to blame for our addiction to trains.... ....I love this thread
