bocaj Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 You can, but it's not a good idea at all. If you leave a DC loco on DCC the moter will burn out very quickly. So, it's best to use a deocder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg.j Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 If you have a Heljan DC loco it will give you a direct short on a Hornby DCC layout. You must fit a digital decoder before trying it on your DCC circuit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
