<p>[quote user="SeeYou190"]They also have a note on their DC power pack page that says the 1300 and 1370 might not be compatible with DC locomotives manufactured by Rapido. Is this because the 1300 & 1370 are PWM?[/quote]</p> <p>No,</p> <p>This is because Rapido outright says in their product manuals that they have had damage from customers using these two power packs (as well as trainset powerpacks). Rapido also says, in the same sentence (paraphrasing) that they will not replace the circuit board in the locomotive if you damage it in this way. No idea if they are serious or just messing around (its kinda hard to tell with them), because I dont run DC. I have an MRC Tech II 2500 (I think) for break-in and testing of repairs prior to decoder installation. </p>
