I got a lot of help here with my prewar layout to use DC ..for my 256 dual motor with no e unit its perfect, and very smooth, However I got a 260E steam with a e unit and chuger .
When I operate the 260E on DC power it has a very smooth low voltage operating run, but the e unit won't cycle properly and the chugar won't work.
So I remove the DC rectifier and capsitor to have it back to AC run using my tmcc cab1 control
Everything works fine now except the lights are brighter.
Just making sure nothing can be done to use the DC set up and still have the chugar sound and the e unit cycle properly.
just asking if anyone had experience with possibly AC better for these engines and found one better than the other (AC vs DC) for prewar engines like these
thanks ...daniel
