Sorry. Never mind. Read it too diagonally. Ignore!

Lawrence,
What's wrong with changing the speeds via the decoder CVs?
Wouter
I want to convert this N scale DC ONLY car to run on DCC. The DCC voltage from my Power Cab is 12.4v. This makes the motor run at high speed as if it were 12VDC.
I don't want to tear out the electronics and wire in a DCC decoder like numerous YouTube videos do.
Can I add a diode (half wave) and maybe a resistor across motor input voltage to reduce the motor speed?
If so, what would the DC voltage to the motor be?
Any approach is welcomed.
