I wanted to run my 2-rail Atlas California Zephyr cars on AC power.  What will happen?  Will the cabin lights illuminate or not?  Will I ruin the lighting of these CZ cars?

 

Can I do this? I want to run them with a 2-rail PS2.0 loco and a standard MTH 3-rail power supply and controller.

 

Am I crazy to do this?

I talked to Atlas on the phone today.  He said the lights will function up to 18V, AC or DC.  So it wasn't anything I did.  He agreed it was just bad luck that the light went out in my sleeper after less than 10 minutes of run time.

 

He said I either have to ship the whole car back to Atlas, or open it myself and remove the circuitry with the light and ship that back to them for repair. 

 

So much for a trip to Radio shack for a $1 bulb (sigh)
