Track

Does anyone know if I can run "G" scale Bachmann trains on LGB brass track and do I need any special transformer to do so.
Thank you

Here is my answer from the other (paint) thread where you asked the same question:

The simple answers are "Yes" and "No."

Bachmann large scale trains, like LGB large scale trains, run on DC (Direct Current) and require a power supply that puts out DC. A "transformer" puts out AC (Alternating Current) that will destroy the motor.

Since you asked about LGB power, I assume you have a variable DC power supply rather than a transformer, as that is what LGB uses. That will work fine.

Note that I am totally ignoring DCC (Digital Command Control) which is a different power and control system that is rapidly becoming the standard method of running model trains.

As an aside, you really should start a new thread to ask a new question. Putting your track compatibility and electrical power question at the end of a thread about paint will not get the best responses.

Aa another aside, it is best practice to post a question only in one place.

Happy RRing,
