Hi every one, i'm new here and this is my first topic.
I have run my trains on the conventional direct current system since i first had a train set (that was a long time back) but now the kids have all left home i find more pennies in my pocket so decided to go for DCC, and purchased a LENZ 100 system, while it runs perfectly with the new locomotives available, i have found that its not so good with older locos, i.e hornby tender drive princess elizabeth, went for a short while then the armature burnt out, same happened with an old X04 motor, and some of the limas locos seem to stop start continually, has any one else encountered this, or am i just expecting to much from my older stock. all comments would be very welcomed
