I've been thinking about maby trying to put a DCC system into my 3 rail trains. I have a TMCC system with about six of their accessory controllers that are giving me fits. Seems there should be a better way.
Thanks for any ideas.

I have dcc and MTH DCS Protosounds 2 in my some of my HO and 3 rail models.
Both seem to work fine but the parts cost does add up.
I rather spend money on good looking models than expensive electronics I can't fix or get parts for.
If it runs, don't break it
If it does not run take the electronics out and use a diode bridge rectifier to run the can motor off AC for now.
DCC works great with 3 rail track and will be the primary command system on my new layout that is about to start construction. I currently have 9 TMCC locos, 11 DCS locos 5 of which are PS/3 and will run under DCC, and 11 DCC equipped 3 rail locomotives that I used Soundtraxx decoders to upgrade to command control. Converting all 47 of my locos is going to be very expensive and will have to be done slowly over time, all my PS/2 locos will get stacker boards to upgrade them to PS/3.
