This is from a guy who only knows enough not to stick his finger into a light socket!
I recently purchased a New Orleans Streetcar. In the description it said:
This unit had a bad mother board and has wired without it. So MTS will not work.
Will this work fine with my track power?
What is MTS, and what features am I losing?
Lou: I don’t know much, just did a google search. It is possible that MTS means Multi Train System and that what you would be losing is the ability to have this work tandem with other powered streetcars? Maybe?
If the streetcar is LGB, MTS would be “Multi Train System” which is the name of LGB DCC
So yes it should work just fine on DC track power.
Thanks, Guys. I forgot to mention it is LGB, and it came without paperwork.
It will work fine with smooth DC. Will it work on pulsed DC, like PWM from Aristo? Maybe, maybe not.
What “transformer” are you powering with?
Greg
I have 3 different ones. Not sure which will power the “Trolley Line”. Can’t go out and check, it’s pouring rain again. Most likely an Aristo 10 amp.
if you settle on the aristo power, then see if your throttle has a linear mode…
Greg
Righto then.
