Hi,
Looking for some info and a little help.
Not greatly into trams but just having a play to see if I can put sound into one.
I have a Spectrum (Bachmann 5) H0 Peter Witt street car DCC ready Item number 84602.
I'm using a Lenz controller.
Item was bought s/hand with the description of a sluggish runner.
Address should be number 3.
When I first put it on the track I got no response at all so checked the address which was 3 so changed it to 4 and away it went.
It runs great no sluggishness, lights and interior not working but not to bothered with that.
After about 2-3 yards it stopped and did a little backwards and forwards movement and away it went again.
This keeps happening which may suggest over heating but that is a guess, apart from that it runs great with no sluggishness or jerking.
All pickups are clean and so are the wheels and I've checked all connections.
So I'm looking for any info as to weather the motors are 12v as on the supplied DC plug there are 2 resisters.
There are also what look like 2 resisters on the decoder circuit board.
I'm not sure what decoder is fitted to the street car as its factory fitted but I want to put a Loksound decoder in it so it will have sound.
Any info or guidance is appreciated.
I don't want to replace the factory fitted decoder with a Loksound and burn out the circuit board or blow the decoder.
Thank you.
