How long is the BLI Lite Mike w/tender (too lazy to unpack it) and if you motorize the TT is there a way you can hook up a decoder to the motor to control the TT from your Throttle? Terry[8D][/quote] <br /> Sorry,don't know the answer to the first question, but you can use a DCC mobile decoder to control the turntable operation. I would also choose one with [url="http://www.lenz.com/products/decoders/currentdecoders/silver.htm"]<u>back EMF</u>[/url] for better low speed control. <br /> The motor may draw at least one amp, mybe more. You should test it with an amp meter first. Then order the correct size decoder. You wire it as you would a locomotive decoder. <br /> <br /> If you need to control the polarity of the rails, use an automatic reverse module.
