Title: Oil and Grease DC DCC
Post by: Chum on February 28, 2011, 12:33:17 PM

I have a Spectrum N&W class J 4-8-4. Do I disassemble the engine to add grease?
How do i know if it is DCC , DC or something else?
What type of transformer do I need? I have 10 ea 9" and 2 ea 2" straight 16 ea curved (22 rad) and plan to add using the Bachmann Expander set, all the track is E-Z track by Bachmann, the Hobby shop did not tell me about nickle-silver track. The power pack i am now using is probably 25 years old, from a train I bought for my kids I think it was a Tyco.

thanks

I think you meant to write: "DCC (Digital Command Control) Ready."

DC (Direct Current) & DCC are frequently misstated or misunderstood.

Happy RRing,
