PomDave Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Hi All, I'm about to embark on converting my Class 170 for DCC operation. Although I have a Hornby R8312 e-Link unit I'm still building my layout and using an old dc controller for checking track connections etc. My question is this, if I convert my Class 170 can I test that it works OK on the dc layout or am I going to blow the decoders up. My Class 150's are straight out 21 pin decoders and will happily run on dc. Best Rgds, Dave R. Australia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRman Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 You won't blow up your decoder on DC. Most will run on DC by default, but a few may have the bit in CV29 turned off for DC running. Either way, it won't harm the decoder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PomDave Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 That's a lot off my mind. Being a retired oldy and new to this DCC lark I'm always wary of things that I'm doing with my layout. Best Rgds, Dave R. Australia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
