DCC in Legos?

I was wondering if anyone here has ever tried to us DCC with Lego trains? I know it'll require some major wiring.

Ah, don't show me that train, it sucks (excuse my languge). I build them all on my own.

 

Legos Rule!!!!!!!!!

 

Listen you guys, you've stolen my Idea. I've copyrighted that train in 1994.

Just kidding, Its a great idea, why not??? if you're using a 12 volt motor that draws Xamps you can figure out what size decoder you need. Then using the decoder's instructions, wire the motor and the tracks as indicated. Buy an MRC controller and you're up and running.

Its 9-volts, but i think it wouldn't be too hard.

 

Remember it's not the voltage, but the amperage that plays a significant part in the equation.
9volts is around N scale size, so do the math. Measure the amperage when the motor's slipping and stalled and bingo! that's the decoder you'll need. Provided of course the nine volts travels over the rails, if it's battery powered you'll have to run the train trailing wires to the command station.
