[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by rrinker A lighted car or caboose without a decoder will work on any DCC system, including the Prodigy. Typically it's just a light bulb or three connected to the track. The only problem that may come up is the volatge on many systems is slightly above 12V, which may shorten the life of the bulb. Running under DC< you are seldom at full throttle and thus usually less than 12V across the bulb. Running ocntinuously as full power may also heat the bulb enough to melt plastic. I've also noticed with my P2K caboose that at full brightness the light bleeds through the shella nd looks way too toy-like. If I could get the darn shell off without breaking the thing, I'd install a resistor or just yank the light bulb completely. --Randy [/quote] Thanks Randy, I thought I read here from someone that you can't run analog with a Prodigy, or Prodigy Advanced. I am still trying to figure all this kind of stuff out.
