[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by cacole I just noticed your comment that the majority of your locomotives have decoders installed. If this is the case, you need to run them on DCC. Trying to run decoder equipped locomotives on DC is very hard on the decoders and could cause you to eventually burn them out. The same holds true for trying to run a DC locomotive by setting the DCC system on address 0 -- motors overheat when ran this way, so prolonged use shortens their life. [/quote] running my decoders on DC isnt a problem, i have dummy plugs for them
