DC - Electrical

Walthers GP35 DCC to DC

I have a Walthers Proto GP35 that has DCC/Sound.  I want to convert it to DC and really cant find anything anywhere on what is needed to do this.   I bought the engine to help out a friend and everything he owned had DCC/sound.

Thanks

Arduino Controlled Turntables.

Time to turn my research to controlling the two turntables on my layout.

One question first. Will a DCC reversing module be needed on a turntable?

 

Wiring DCC vs. DC for One Train Operation

Which is simpler to wire for one train operation? DC or DCC?

 

6 Axle Loco vs. 4 Axle Loco Power Pickup

Does a 6 axle Diesel have any advantage over a 4 axle Diesel with electrical power pickup? 

Dose it matter if it is DC or DCC? (Would the results be different between DC and DCC?)

This was a recent posting over on the Repower/Regear groups.io   
I thought some folks here find it interesting.

Slow Speed Control with Analog DC: What Equipment is Best?

I'm convinced that you don't need DCC to achieve slow speed running. That said, it seems you need a smooth controller and a very smooth engine.

What engines and what controllers work the best for slow speed DC operation?

Any insights into DC slow speed control?

Wiring an Arduino with push button and LED to control turnouts.

As I stated earlier, I received all the components necessary to power my turnouts.

I thought I had everything worked out as per the diagrams below. NOTE: diagrams updated with regard to the feedback I received.
