Wow, never knew this stuff...always thought AC was AC and one couldn't run an AC motor on DC current except for the newer, willaims types and the like that had DC can motors and a bridge rectifier for AC power input that could take DC anyway.
Scott, anybody, got any input on the change over to proto2 on one of these.
Honestly never cracked open the K-line steamer so I "assumed" it was an AC motor...oops.
I've seen there's an electronic conversion out there, somewhere, to convert the lionels cam e-unit to an electronic e-unit...alot less buzzing then.
