bob68 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Hi forum, have decided to set up a N gauge dcc layout separate to my 00 gauge one and was wondering if I could use my 00 gauge select controller to operate this instead of purchasing new. don't want to cause any damage to my n gauge locos, many thanks in advanceMod note - your post moved to the DCC section where it will get more directed answers.

96RAF Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 DCC is not scale dependant. Your controller will work with any scale locos.The only consideration is the power handling and physical size of the decoder fitted in the loco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Yes you can. All DCC decoders operate on the same voltage and draw only as much current as they need. So N gauge won’t be overpowered by a controller that can also power OO gauge. And as the N gauge use less power, the Select will be able to run more of them at once.
