    MRC Sound Decoder for Kato SD70MAC

    This may not be the answer for everyone, but making a “sound box car” has really brought me to a new level of satisfaction in N Scale sound. I used a Micro Trains 50’ Express refer for my project. Additional parts (with approximate costs) were: Digitrax SDN144PS Sound Decoder $ 39.10 (Litchfield...

    MRC Sound Decoder for Kato SD70MAC

    Just for grins, I sent a copy of my "Letter to the Editor" to MRC to see if they had any comments. Below is my email to them and their response. It is almost too funny. To even think that they would market a sound product that they expected to be heard a whopping "almost 1 foot away" is...

    MRC Sound Decoder for Kato SD70MAC

    Hi All: I subscribe to Model Railroad News and have found many of their articles very informative. Recently, in October 2010 and February 2011, they had articles espousing how good an MRC decoder with sound was when installed in an N Scale Kato SD80 and a Kato SD45. Since I have a couple of Kato...

    Start of my New Camas Prairie Layout.

    For us people that are doing our best to have a nice n scale layout on a 5'x10' board, I am not sure if I am just envious of your space or overwhelmed by what you consider limited space. You must have a basement, here in Florida, we do not know what a basement is. dwight77

    Like a rat from a sinking ship

    Hi All: I have noticed a considerable drop off in topics. I just thought it was the economy. I have to ask, one member here said, "I'm already there". Where is "THERE" ? dwight77

    Inglenook / Time Saver Switching Combo

    Hi Jesso: The switching has been good. Have only had limited use as we have been still working on the scenery.....but those who have tried it have enjoyed it. We are going to start keeping a log for those who work the puzzles.....and I believe it will count toward hours on the dispatch...

    Rooming House - First attempt at weathering

    Hi john12212000: Thanks for the compliment. The kit included roof material, a paper product with a sticky back. While the strips were long enough to go the full length of the roof, I cut them and overlapped them laterally and of course they overlapped top to bottom. I painted the roof with...

    Gauge NASCAR Fantasy League Info Thread

    N Gauger: Thanks for setting up the league. My third year I think, and I have enjoyed it once again. I don't think Jesso can catch me in points if all my cars finished 40, 41, 42, and 43, except that we are tied for wins. I will look forward to your startup again in February and would like to...

    Second Go at Weathering - Box & Crate Factory

    I know, I know, I know....:oops: I said no more pics. But a couple of great suggestions were made; add electric coming into the building, a sign for the office, and outdoor lighting. I have tried to add all three with the red office sign, the outdoor lighting over the center front of the...

    Second Go at Weathering - Box & Crate Factory

    Hi All: Took another crack at weathering a laser kit for our N Scale layout. This one is a "Box & Crate Factory" by Northeastern Scale. We have a modeler in our club who is exceptional doing weathering with chalks and powders and he has held a few clinics for our members. So far I have been...
