Hi all
Not sure if anyone will know on here, but advice of contacts of any US outline (HO) experts here in UK would be welcome, either way. Theoretically US outline locos, that are advertised as (old school) DC compatible, out of the box, even if their intended main use is via DCC etc, is there any reason that the DC use of (in UK) becomes a problem, as in intermittent or complete lack of response to take power, or would this be more likely a fault with the loco?

Grateful for any advice before I decide which course of action to take, refund or ..... you get the drift..

Thanks all.
