    Engine Buzz/Hum with DCC

    NH The sound you describe is the same sound I get when I put a DC, no decoder, loco on a DCC track. If you have a DC only loco put it on the track and see if it sounds the same. Do the loco's have the factory decoder in side and is it hooked UP? DP

    Old Lima Headlight and LED, Help!!

    I am trying to stuff a led into a Cal-Scale Headlight. I ordered some of the square 1.6mm lamps but I found that the "white" was more of a bluish tint. The 3mm LEDs are a little to tight. This is a HO scale Old Lima type Cal-scale#190-205. Any ideas Thanks Dave

I'm hoping to use Stub turnouts also. I.ll pick up an assortment of wire tonight. Thanks for the help. Dave

    tortoise machine and hand made turnouts??

    I have been building my own turnouts using code 70 rail. N gauge. I'm having problems getting the tortoise to move the points all the way. I'm using the wire that came with the switch. I tried adjusting the slide on the machine up and down. The hole on the throw bar was lined up on center...

    Wiring a crossover for DCC

    Gary Thanks That is something I didn't think of. Another idea I had is to wire it to the turnout as the train will only use the crossover when the turnout is thrown. This is a back woods narrow gauge, so some "duck tape engineering" would of been used. Dave
