Use of DC power pack for rail pro ?
« on: June 27, 2019, 04:52:39 PM »
 Is it OK to run one of my Railpro engines on a DC layout? Was going to try it out on a friends DC system.
Thanks,
Rob Cooper

If he has a decent filtered DC controller, crank it up and go.
If it's a cheapo train set power pack, eeeehh. maybe don't.

Thanks Bill. I assume putting the Voltage to about 14 volts is the proper setting on the power pack?

14-15v is good.
