Reply to "install ps1 in older lionel switcher"

You are a hundred percent correct Rob. I even had a rectifier on the output of my American Fler transformer to my post war AF engines. It made them run slower but the DC did make them work.

But, I think GRJohn asked a very good question how dose all the electronics work through all that noise?

 

That is why I like the Dalle product line because it seems to have some filter cercuits on it to isolate the PS1 board from the AC noise.

 

If you recall Lionel did alot of work on AC motors with their early curse control back in the nineties. I think AC noise and TMCC where not a good mix so they went over to DC drive motors.

I'm sure there where many other issues that directed their decision but that rings in my head.

 

In any case, if you ask MTH or Lionel if you could up grade your post war engines to command control they will flat out tell you no. I'm sure it can made to work but at what cost in aggravation when operated.

 

That is why I say talk to Dalle, I think they already invented that wheel.
