Warning. T gauge trains operate on 4.5 volts only. Running on higher voltages will damage the motors and probably the bodies, due to the heat generated.
Note that many pulse power / 'half-wave' controllers intended for larger scales will still put around 12 volts on the rails, regardless of the speed setting.
We strongly recommend using the specially made T gauge controllers to operate T gauge trains.
Models damaged by operating on the higher voltages of other controllers will NOT be covered by warranty.
