Good morning all. This is my first post, and I got a question for you all. I am
looking at picking up an engine and I have a choice between it being AC or DC.
Now I know the electrical difference between the two, but I don't understand
why there is a choice. N, HO, Z, G (that's not battery operated) are all DC to
my albeit limited knowledge. O scale comes in three rail and is AC...makes
sense I guess. Not sure if O scale 2 rail comes in DC or not...
So back to S scale, historically I think American Flyer was made AC, but is
it still that way? (ie so you can still run today's remakes with original Flyer
products)However American Flyer is still considered a toy train like tinplate's
and some O scale stuff....correct? Sn3 is DC if I remember right, so if I am
planning on doing scale modeling as opposed to toy train running, I would be
wanting to get a DC engine ...is that right?
Basically toy train approach would use AC, scale modelling approach would
use DC??
Hope this question somehow makes sense :)
Thanks, Rachel Covington
