Narrow Gauge on Nscale layouts

[stevewalker]

I assume that the resistor is because the Rokuhan motors are rated for a lower voltage. If so, it would make more sense to buy/build a controller with the correct voltage, dedicated to the narrow-gauge line.

Insert the resistor anywhere you can between pickups and motor.  Personally I prefer to use a chain of inverse-parallel diodes to introduce a voltage drop as it's then independent of the current draw, but if you need a significant drop it takes more room in the chassis.

This is what I do to tame Tomytec and Kato chassis and match them better with other brands running on my DC automated shuttle.

Rokuhan chassis  under a slightly widened Rye and Camber coach dummy loco along for the ride

thats food for thought thanks

motor is conected by two wires so easy to add resistors or diodes although can be tight for space

beware the Rokuhan chassis need some taming with a resistor

Thanks i had heard that, is it possible to put a resistor in the DC wiring,
or will i have to fettle with the chasis?
