Yes, at your own risk. The reversing pulse can kill some decoders. Originally Posted by: Montignac Sorry if this question as been asked too many times before... Yes. Transformers rated for 220 V or 110 V are a potential risk for (at least some) modern digital locomotives. Consider buying 6647 or 6647x transformers.
