I have been reading through information on this on the Forum about the Lionel 6-18009 Mohawk. If I replace the grease and lubricate believe it should work.
However the question I have is: Sounds like it was considered a good scale engine back in 1990 but is very obsolete tech in 2024. When reading about "upgrades" mentions are made about compatibility with the Pullmor Motor. Now I am about to show my ignorance, but to me the motor appears to be what I would term an AC/DC universal motor. Won't this motor run on DC? What makes this motor require different Output from a more up to date control board than a DC can motor?
Can someone please explain this in terms that someone that's not an EE can understand? Thank you.
