poliss Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 It is not recommended to run an analogue loco on DCC. It can burn the motor out, especially when the loco is left stationary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rog RJ Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I believe the Eurostars are known to take a lot of power, which could well be the reason you are seeing problems. As Poliss has said, it is not recommended to run dc (analogue) models on DCC (digital). The best thing to do is convert your Eurostar to DCC by fitting a DCC decoder.
