I was wondering of the LGB 21900 Duo system loco would perform it's uncoupling operation if run on battery power ?
In theory yes, but as ever it depends on what you are talking about. So long as the battery supply is taking over the place of feeding in to the circuit as if it was from the track and the voltage is sufficient I cannot see why not.I was wondering of the LGB 21900 Duo system loco would perform it's uncoupling operation if run on battery power ?
I have one that I brought from Zerogee. It's the red one, which were originally sold by LGB as DC, but unusually this one was sold as DCC fitted, and as such is quite rare. It operates the same way as the later blue DCC version.I don't think these were very common (popular?) here in the UK?
Were they not a 'relative' of the Harlequin loco, and related to the 99-5001 model?

Greg, I don't have one of these locos, but are confused by your statement, this is my controller, and can go from forward to reverse via zero without without hesitation with inertia set to zero:I explained it twice, and it's not registering... The operation seems to rely on a smooth transition from - voltage to zero and continuing on to plus voltage. ... most units cannot do this, the direction is separately controllable.. also again the PWM from your remote has been ignored...
The GSG controller is indeed pwm... and you don't have a "shunting mode" type of throttle... try it, following the instructions and see if the couplers go...
Maybe people lost sight of the request for the couplers to operate?
I am with Greg on this one..
I wonder if the Duo loco would work on 'address 0' stretched DCC? - This would be similar to a PWM signal.
And yes, the Micron (& Co), in fact most, RC systems are PWM, so may not work as expected.
Dan, a short length of track, fed with the output of your G Scale Graphics receiver, would answer the question.
But as Greg states, and I understand the Rail Boss works, you have a separate control for direction, to speed?
PhilP
OK, neither thing is the point...
it's the electronics that operates the couplers, like you asked. I explained it several times... and also suggested you try it, and PhilP gave you a suggestion on how you try it easily.
Greg
So you don't even own the loco? No wonder you did not try it out.... maybe let us know next time you are considering buying one?
