A question about brass or nickle silver drivers

twilight022765 All Messages By This Member #303 Does it make a difference in DCC if the drivers are brass or nickle silver(I think they're nickle silver)? These are Bowser drivers.
Tom Knowles #317 开云体育 Opinion: If the brass tires are kept nice and clean, it should not make any difference. That said, I have no experience in that to share. I'm pretty sure the Bowser drivers are plated with a "silvery substance", but it is very thin and wears or polishes away to reveal brass pretty quickly. I am speaking of older Bowser,? perhaps its different today? Tom Knowles On 1/5/2013 9:41 PM, twilight022765 wrote: toggle quoted message Show quoted text ?

Victor Bitleris All Messages By This Member #327 开云体育 I have to agree with Tom.? Everybody I know blames the Hobbytown of Boston brass wheels for their stalling.? A couple of years ago, I found that was not really true.? What the problem really turned out was the electrical path from the truck frame through the loco frame and the mechanical path it goes through before it hits the motor.? I added four sets of wipers? directly to the red and black wires on the DCC Decoder on my brass wheeled NW-2 and don't get any stalling any longer.? It runs just fine, even with brass wheels.
