"Thanks for the reply. Your 44 Tonner got me thinking about 2-44 Tonners and 2-70 Tonners (all Spectrum with two motors) that I have in my collection. Most of them were marked for eBay, but now I have a renewed interest in them. I test ran all of them yesterday on DC and most ran pretty good considering they haven’t been out of their boxes in years and were never really broken in when I got them. There were no issues that I could see except some jerkiness between the trucks at very slow speeds and I read on the net that DCC will solve that."
DCC has its limitations...If the problem is mechanical or electrical pick up, it'll still be there...Make sure the engines run perfectly (or as near to...) on DC, then DCC will work its magic....
