Try this post sir: http://www.the-gauge.com/showthread.php?p=231187#post231187

The Athearn RTR's use the same drive as the BB's unfortunately. They just have the DCC board added to them.:thumb:

Well at least you figured out the prob!! But I would definitely send them the motor for a replacement!

Excellent roster shot there Deano!! Love the Rio Grande and SP (still wish they weren't assimiliated) Like how you moved the autos in and out of frames, looks almost real!!

They arent cheap. I paid $550 for a pair.:thumb:

I've ran into the same problem with quite a few of them recently. I isolated 2 with the motors coming apart (copper clip that holds the motor together on top and bottom) and 3 that had poor lubrication in the trucks. A lil lube, and verification of the motors and all was well.:thumb:

Yes sir, they do. The drive mechanism is so sensitive to slow speed, the detail work is excellent also.:thumb: As soon as they release an NS Gevo, gonna get a couple:thumb: :thumb:

I'm with Miles, Im almost 40, and have never seen an operational steam engine in my life, but I do own a few; BIg Boy, Challenger, a couple of 4-8-4 mountains, a couple of Mikado's, and will use them on my layout for mainly passenger excursions. The closest I have come to a real one, was one...

Heres a link to most older Rivarossi and IHC installs: http://www.wiringfordcc.com/write_ups.htm I used their diagram for my Big Boy and Challenger.:thumb:

That IHC has an universal coupler on the rear, in that it will match up with horn-hook or KD's. I'm glad you and your Grandson are enjoying them Rick:thumb: :thumb:

Very Good work:thumb: :thumb: I like the turntable in Collinsville-E, is it scratchbuilt?

Uh OH! Looks like your Swift reefer went aground on the crossing there!:D Good weathering job on those!:thumb:

I like it, but I will use a lil variation of it: Will move the cross under to lower wall, add a storage yard on the lower level, and will make a section of it lift out (how? I dont know yet) I'm also going to add a diesel and steam service areas (somewhere, just not quite sure yet):thumb:

That is a 9-40CW sir, but aint she puurty? heres a better pic of her: http://www.chattanoogarailfan.com/ns9924.html

It looks great, but somehow I'm missing the connection between the 2 loops.:D

Heres a wiring diagram straight from the Lenz LE1000w, any other wires you have beyond these are for other functions (aka directional lighting, ditch, mars,....)

That is just about right, except the line running from the DCC board to top of motor is Orange not yellow. If you want to use the existing light in the Athearn unit, most decoders will work if you tie the white wire to the back of the light, at the copper strip that normally rests on top of the...

That is just beautiful work!!!:thumb: :thumb:

Heres a suggestion: while your inside and have taken the motor out of the engine, take a lil lube and apply to the worm gears and inside the trucks to the gears in there. Theres nothing worse than gettin it all wired up and put back together and detailed completely, and then a few days later...
