I've never tried the other Lionel trolley on DC, but as it happens, I have that loop wired to a switch that allows output from a DC transformer to power that loop. I'll have to experiment.

Update: no joy. I switched the track to DC power, cranked it up, and . . . nothing. To be fair, there *was* a spotlight car and whistle tender on a siding *also* powered by the same DC transformer that may have drawn some power off, but there was no indication that the trolley was about to move or even light up. Switched back to AC, both the engine and the trolley resumed their tag match. So, I'd tentatively say the older model Lionel trolley I have probably doesn't play well with DC . . .
