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!
