Good Evening All, I have been considering doing an n-scale dcc trolley layout but have not been able to locate too many of those animals. Can anyone point to where i look for them?
I don't know of any DCC trolleys. There are DC options out there. You could always try to convert them, but might be simpler and cheaper to just use DC. Depends on what you are trying to do.
Bachmann makes 1. I know because I just found 1 in a collection I am helping a friend inventory for sale. It is a Peter Witt type I believe. Later Richard
I have a couple of TomyTec trams that I bought, they run on a TT power chassis. I haven't modified mine yet, but there are some really good videos on YT for rigging them with a DCC decoder. It's surprisingly easy.
As far as I know the Bachmann Peter Witt is the only DCC equipped N-scale trolley or streetcar ever produced. Good luck finding one, however, as they are no longer being produced and there doesn't seem to be an abundance of them as there are many other Bachmann products.
Ditto on the above. I got my Peter Witt cars when they were being sold on Ebay for $30-ish dollars. As usual you either joined the feeding frenzy at the time or you would later regret not going so. You won't find them today for the prices that were being charged then. That is, if you can find them. A new PCC car would be a welcomed item today.
Yep, that Witt car by Bachmann was a beaut . I have a Chicago Surface lines one and it runs perfectly. A buddy has a massive selection of Interurban/trolleys , think they are mostly Japanese mechs on 3-D printed bodies.
