HO Train Driven by a Steam Engine & Microcosm Dynamo; PLUS Our 2019 Gingerbread House
« on: January 05, 2020, 02:06:04 pm »
Can a Steam Engine & Dynamo drive a DC HO Train?

Yes....but barely. 🤠

A Microcosm Dynamo powered by a D.K. Machine Products Vertical Engine.

I was able to create 6 Volts at 10psi.  Higher Air Pressure did not result in any higher output.

The Gingerbread House is a family tradition. We made it on Christmas Eve.

Thanks Nick. I have another Dynamo coming from an eBay purchase soon.

But, I won’t have any more time to mess with it as I will be leaving for Cabin Fever next Saturday.
