I don't think you can. it uses a different voltage with more oomph to boil the water so it needs to be on a seperate circuit from standard 12V stuff. If you have block control then you could run it on the same rails as your other stuff but make DCC just as inconvienient to use as DC but with the new hazzard of blowing whatever 12V stuff gets onto the 17V track! If you just mean in terms of gauge then it is already gauged to 16.5mm anyway so there is no problem in that respect. appearance wise I wouldn't even try as getting the components to fit inside another - non-straemlined - shell would be nigh on impossible. I think hornby is going to put the bits inside a non-streamlined pacific soon (the flying scotsman I think) so maybe wait and see? hope that helps Neil
