Hi! Sorry, newbie with Kato. Which DCC decoder goes with the P-42 Amtrak locomotive? Thanks. :wave:

I have looked for and the only diagrams are operation manuals for locomotives and EZ Command, nothing about EZ Track layout diagrams. :cry:

Hi! I want to make a small temporary layout with N scale EZ Track, using ready-to-use crossovers, something like this: Which radius I need for both loops?:confused: Note: This sample was created using Atlas RTS, only to show the disposition of the track. By the way, is available some...

Hola! Recently I replaced the trucks of my old Bachmann's cars with Micro Trains -Roller Bearing Trucks #1033 (033 02 032), and works perfectly. They have plastic wheels but you can replaced it with Atlas metal wheels, no problem. Note: Use the same original pin/screw of your cars to avoid...

Thanks for the link!! :thumb: Manuel

Hi! It is possible to find shorts using Xtrkcad in the same way like in RTS? I'm new with this software and I can't find the way.:cry: I will appreciate your comments. Thanks. :wave:

Fluesheet: Thanks for your reply, very useful. :thumb:

Hi, guys! I want to buy the locomotive Bachmann EMD SD45, DCC Ready, N scale. I thought in Bachmann DCC Decoder item No: 44915 with NMRA plug. The 44915 decoder goes with the SD45? Is the same decoder for all Bachmann's DCC Ready locomotives? Or I need a decoder with wires for soldering...

OK I will try with MT, it seems the best option. Thanks, I appreciate your advice. :wave:

Don't worry, you're right! All my Bachmann's freight cars has trucks mounted with plastic pin! Only the caboose has the trucks mounted with screws. Your post is perfectly valid. Thanks for your reply. :thumb:

Micro Trains is also good choice and easy to find. Then, there is no problem mixing Accumate with MT? That's can be the solution! If Atlas is hard to find, and it is, I'll try MT. Thanks. :)

Hi umtrr-author yes, it's possible that the hole in the car is not of the same size. You're right, I will try with only one car. I have eight old Bachmann's freight cars with rapido couplers. But I think to change only one coupler to connect it to the rest of the train. :thumb:

Thanks for your reply railohio, yes, is Atlas I will search in atlasrr.com perhaps I find them there. :mrgreen:

Hi! Newbie here.:wave: I have a few old Bachmann N scale freight cars with Rapido couplers and I want to convert them to Accumate. It is possible? Where can I found Accumate N scale couplers? I have visited the Accurail.com website and the only ones couplers are HO Standard Couplers. It's...

I'm newbie too!! How many types of decoders are there?:shock: look this dealer: DCCTRAIN for DCC DIGITAL COMMAND CONTROL DCC TRAINS LENZ UHLENBROCK ZIMO Digitrax is the most used on Atlas locomotives. Any doubt ask before buying decoder! Toy Train Heaven also has many locomotives with decoder...

Yes, diesel engine is more cheap. If you want a black locomotive there are many to choose. Personally I like the beautiful design of the GP38, GP40-2 and SD60's. Next week I will buy the Atlas GP40-2 Alaska Railroad DCC-Installed. I can recommend blwnscale.com has excellent prices. Norfolk is a...

Update I made it!!bounce7 Both are right!!, the resistor was the problem. The low current of the resistor is not enough to program the decoder. The resistor was removed, in the main track I placed the locomotive directly in the connecting track and the loco was programmed in the first try...

Sorry for the delay. Thanks both for the welcome and the advice they have been very useful. I'm going to read carefully the decoder instructions to see if I can put it back in default. :smile: By the way, I can't see my own message! Only the qoute posted by UP SD40-2 with the pics. ...
