That looks like a Ford Lightning parked there. Or is it just a regular F150? Either way, nice lot!

I know bachmann offers two diffrent GP highnose paint schemes that are DCC ready.

If this is a common thing...I'm going back to block control. I can't handle this buzzing crap. It gets really annoying when I'm in a yard and doing some slow speed switching stuff. I might box up the ez command and send it back. I had no idea that the bachmann locos would make this noise on DCC...

The loco im talking about came with the Ez command....it was one of those package deals....Ive had the loco apart, definately has a decoder.

It only does this in DCC mode. If I run it with a DC power pack, the noise goes away, it almost runs silently

Got my whole EZ command set up and running.....So far so Good. But the Bachmann DCC equipped loco it came with is loud when I run it with DCC. It Emitts kind of a growling or buzzing noise. But when I run it on plain DC, the noise goes away. Is this a decoder problem? Are all bachmann DCC locos...

I Just recieved the bachmann ez command DCC system with loco today. Got everything out of the box, put the loco on the track, following directions I applied power to the track, The loco moves like it should, but makes a terribly loud buzzing noise untill it gets up to speed. I'm running the loco...

It's been a while since I have sen a high nose geep in person, but I have a couple on my layout. I've always wondered why some of the geeps were made with the high hood?

I forgot about the folding idea. What do I use to connect the track joints? Small piece of track? I guess I could use a long piano hinge to connect the 2 boards. Thanks for the suggestions!

thanks for the replies... I'm now having a problem with a plan. I've been looking at so many plans lately, that my mind is boggled. Would anyone like to share a track plan? Your help would be greatly appreciated! I have about 3 industries to work with and I need a spur to store some short...

To get the continuous run I used flex track, one piece at each end of the layout.

I just made some extra space in a spare room in my apartment. The biggest layout that will fit in the space is 32" x 60". I figure I can get away with using some atlas 15" radius snap track, but I have a couple of questions. I just picked up one of those Bachmann EZ command DCC kits with the...

I need some help in this matter. I only have a 2x4 space to work with. I currenlty have a continuous running 2x4 HO layout, with 3 industries. I'm running a heavily modified GP40 (to make the radius) with 40 foot rolling stock. the layout is kind of crowded with all of the buildings and spurs...

yeah...I noticed that the script on the side looked funny...vertical instead of being spread out. Thanks for the pics!

I recently aquired a bachmann F7...it seems to run fine, but needs some detailing. it looks to be molded in solid yellow with a union pacific script and logo on the side. It looks funny with out any grey on it. My question is...what parts of the roof are supposed to be grey? is the pilot...
