To my fellow O-Gaugers:

I just purchased a 3rd Rail 2-8-0 steamer via auction that is equipped with TMCC.  Will I be able to run it with my conventional DC power pack? (120 watts)

Just curious, but if you have 3-Rail trains, why are you using a DC power pack?  In the 3-Rail trains world, the power pack should be AC in order to operate 3-Rail equipment in "conventional".

Forgive me, I'm retarded. It is AC power via a Lionel 180 watt transformer!  This is my first 3rd Rail loco (in transit). My other locos are Lionel from late 90s - early 2000s.

So will this 3rd Rail TMCC work with standard AC?

Yes. Thanks for clearing THAT up.

Thank YOU!
