Russ, that is a very intresting idea i may consider, thanks! Wayne, im not sure, im still learning DCC but you make it sound simple. Thanks!:thumb:

thanks evryone for your input, and yes Wayne, it is worth quite a bit. Also, it does run very good, it even has a flickering where the fire box is, but its from a dirty motor, but it still looks like a flickering fire box. I guess i have a piece of past history so i will put it up on my shelf...

CNJ999, thanks for the info. The tender says Olympia, but all the locomotive says on the bottom is Japan. I dont know anything about brass, so it could be anything. I will post some pictures of it as soon as i find my batteries for my digital camera. Thanks again.:thumb:
