Title: Rolling Road
Post by: 8466APOL on August 23, 2025, 21:34

Hi Guys,

Was wondering if anyone had used a rolling road I'm thinking that one might be ideal not only to check that I fitted dcc chips properly but should in theory be okay for running in

Thanks
Alan

I have one, but I don't use it as much as I thought I would. It's a DCC Concepts one bought from KMS Railtech at Perth last year when they were selling them at a good discount.

I purchased my rolling road many years ago and set up all my chipped locos on it using my Lenz controller. Since then I've reverted back to plain DC for all my 009/hoe models.

I bought an inexpensive one at Glasgow last year. I was concerned it might not work with small four wheeled 009 locos, but they seem to manage.They do wobble and waddle a bit, especially my Minitrains locos, but they do that anyway.

I bought it because the sellers showed it working. If buying unseen I think I'd go for one from a well known supplier. There are some cheap ones from places like AliExpress that may not be up to much.

Thanks Guys

I've ordered one I think let's see what I can do with it might be something to have a look at for display purposes

Thanks
Alan
