I am looking for any one who might have interest in my old MR or RMC magazines. I have mags from the 70's to present. Some are complete years and some are not. I would consider them from fair to excellent conditions(with the most recent in excellent condition) What do you guys do with your old...

Thanks, Gary!!! :thumb:

Maybe my post wasn't as quite as clear as I thought(I'm new with the DCC stuff). Would I be able to use my DT400 Digitrax Super Throttle with a Zephyer system? Twilight

I am thinking of purchasing a Digitrax Zephyer system for a bookshelf layout I am going to build over the winter. My question is, can this system be used with a walk around throttle via the UP5 interface? :confused: Any other thoughts about this system would be apreciated, too. Twilight

Freelancer, the decoder went in and it was as simple as pie! Our club president referred me to www.tcsdcc.com and I was able to download installation instructions from there with clear photos!!! :thumb: Ended up using a TCS decoder for this job called the M1. I'll test it out at the club...

I haven't got the decoder yet but, I hope to pick it up tomorrow night. It doesn't look like a hard installation if you any good with a soldering iron. :thumb: I will let you know what decoder I decided on. I think it is a DZ143 from Digitrax. Twilight

Thanks all for your responses, I will let you know how things turn out. Now that I've looked at the prototype a little bit closer, I've notice some things that need to be changed on Bachman's version. So, I will be attempting them, also! As far as, Freelancer, I did get the exploded view for...

Anyone have any thoughts on what decoder to use in a 0-6-0T. I am new to this and have recently joined a model RR club that uses a Digitrax system and would like to convert this little guy over! Thanks, Mark :)

It's been awhile since I've posted on here and this question has probably already been answered before, but here it goes anyway! What kind of adhesive works best when laying down Homabed to a foam surface?:confused: I'm thinking Liquid Nails, will this be fine or are there other...

I'm considering using homabed on my layout that I'm working on. I am handlaying the track, so I want something sturdy to hold the spikes. I am also trying something else new, using pink foam as my surface(small shelf layout in HO). Anyone have any recommendations on how to lay the homabed down...

What color do you guys use for railroad ties? Do you use stain or shoe polish or something else? Let's hear some ideas, please!:wave: Thank-you Twilight:)

I just wanted to let you guys know, I purchased my rail today from MRPO(thanks for the tip Gary) and should be getting in the mail next week!:D Hopefully Monday! I'm going to try to follow the directions in the"Trackwork and Lineside Details" by MR for laying it. ;) I'll be sure to let you...

Where do you guys get your materials for hand-layed track? Do you buy it directly from Walthers or does you local hobby store have the items on hand(particularly the rails)or do they place the order for you? Or do you do mail order from some other vendor? Just wondering?:) Twilight:)

Peco turnouts Shamus, I was checking out the Peco turnouts at the hobby store on Sat. I liked the way the points sort of lock up against the stock rails!!!:cool: Do they come in other rail sizes, besides 100? Just wondering? And Gary, I think I saw an add for the Central Valley turnouts...

60103 David, Who talked me out hand laying my own track, you asked? Of course, it was the guy at the hobby store!:p Saying, " Aw, nobody hand lays track anymore!" And me, being filled with excitement about getting trains running, wanted to by past, what I've heard is a time...

Last week, I posted my disenchantment with Atlas code 83 turnouts.:curse: So, I was able to get the turnout that was causing me the grief to work and only hours later another one failed!:curse: :curse: :curse: Over the course of two layouts, I must have had at least 10 to 12 of these things...

Can some one help me with what to do when my saddletanker or dockside is in a turnout and it loses power at the frog. I seem to remember reading a solution to this someplace, but I can't remember where??? Twilight:)

Anyone else consider these junk? I can't tell you how many of these I had to replace, I've lost count!!!:mad: They seem to lose contact someplace, usually where the points pivit at, causing either the straight-thru or the switch side to go dead. :curse: :curse: :curse: My particular...

Thanks everyone for your replies!:) Didn't have the heart to correct the wall last night, but it's on my list of things to do, tonight!!! It's funny I tested my little saddle tanker(all I'm running on this layout) by the wall and it was fine!!! So I was all excited on how well it was...

Have you ever scratch-built something and you really felt you were on your way to having it completed and than suddenly you realized you over looked something? Well it's been happening to me! I've been working on a wooden trestle with embunkments(?) in to the scenary and after having the darn...
