OO Gauge Power Type

Bobby want to hear reader’s opinions and asks:

“I am in the U.S., and have acquired a OO gauge Hornby London 2012 train pack R2961 (no track or transformer). The loco is designed to run on variable 12V DC power supply. I have a Bachmann HO transformer #46605A. Will that operate this train without harm?”

    Hi Bobby, As long as the Bachmann controller is DC only, it will operate the train OK
    That set you bought should be DCC ready at least.
    Check to see if there is a chip already installed.
    If any problems ask someone locally, to you, with more experience.
