I Hear people are saying to use Diodes to convert to DC? I Can do diodes if needed but have no clue on how. i do not use DCC controls, only DC. if someone could please assist me on either, Thank you! i would rather not buy a decoder.

Try applying a small DC voltage across the wheels. Do they spin in the opposite direction if the voltage is reversed? Edited by user 03 April 2024 22:36:22(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified
