Hi guys!
I now have two althearn trains due to an incredible sell-out sale at my local hobby shop. I have the standard bachman power supply(supplied with the train sets) and obviously running the two locos from this supply results in a drastic reduction in speed and power. What bachman power pack should I upgrade to? One loco is DCC equipped, and the other is DC. Can I install a DCC system to my growing layout with these odd locos? I must admit, that it is fun diverting the trains to other lines as it is now, as I have a continuous running track with 4 turnouts resulting in 3 ovals!

As a beginner, even at the age of 48, one has to learn about a new hobby!
Great place to get info i need, though!
Thanks,

Hi there!
I have recently started with this amazing hobby and have bought my first bachman train. I spotted some good deals on athearn locos yesterday on a sale, and was told that these trains are compatible with the bachman system. I was told by an enthusiast that athearn trains run on 12v DC, and bachman trains run on 16vAC. This sounds totally incompatible to me!!!
Is it OK to run on 16v , or should I return it for a refund?
Please help!
