Soundtraxx/Blackstone Loco Works is also in Durango. Call or email Alan and arrange for a tour. He's pretty receptive.

LEDs with a resistor and a diode are fine to use. The problem is that the voltage leaks through the functions as LEDs ar sensitive bulbs don't pick this voltage up. The LED will also 'blink' with speed steps. Bulbs will not. The diode with the resistor blocks the voltage from getting to the...

Try looking at the wheel sets for cracked spur gears on the axles or a slipping main gear to the motor shaft. It looks like an old Lionel FA2 after they sold the Fundemensions Line.

Changing CV5 to 0 is fine but that takes the top speed voltage cap off of the CV. Next time put it on the Programming track and read what is in CV5. Then you can adjust it up to raise the top speed. This CV controls the voltage to the motor at the full top throttle speed step. Putting a...

Have you looked at a NCE PowerCab? This is a introductory, full featured DCC system for around $139.00 in most places. It is a stand alone system DCC system that can be expanded and used with the full featured Power Pro 5 amp system. IT has all the features if the full system except in smaller...

Why don't you care about the Programming Track? This is a very useful tool. When you install a decoder in the loco, it will test your installation without blowing it out like on Ops or POM mode. This is because it uses less power to do so. So you don't get the full 14VAC going right to the...

Ditto to all!

DON"T DO IT!! I've already been down that road before. You'll regret it later when you realize 'what you had' is gone. Believe me.:curse: :curse: :curse: I sold off a Gibson Les Paul KM model and a Mesa Booge Simalclass amp w 4x12 cabinet, and a few other choice guitars. Of course my new...

I'm a musician. I play guitar in a classicmusic band. I also have some tropical fish to care for. I had salt water fish but they are time consuming.

You don't need CA. Just a dab of ordinary Acetone or nail polish remover will melt the plastic long enough to bond the spandex thread to it. I have seen this used and it holds up pretty well. It's won't sag if you put a little tension on it while gluing it. Spandex thread expands 20 times...

Hello, Been watching the snow fall all day out here in Colorado. I did manage to put up some clips for paperwork on my layout. Also put in some repainted heater vents for my kitchen project..

Main driver rods, valve gear, piston rods and guides and the valve gear hanger. Bill

I like the way the Sargent's look and work. To bad they won't couple with Kadee's. I mostly #58 scale couplers. They won't even couple with those. I suppose you could use a transision car. The Sargents are good for contest models to.

Great place!

This winter I plan on building my helix and getting the top and bottom levels of my layout at least connected. I can then build the staging yard and the rest of the top level branch line. At least that's the plan. ;) As for the rest of 2007, we'll have to see how this winter goes first.

Is this and American, English or European steam engine? Look here: http://www.ontracks.co.uk/index.php?page=catalogue&cat=120&toplevel=1 Hornby has Rivarossi now.

Those look like On30 models Bachmann produces. It's designed to run on HO track. Get some HO track and see if it is. They do make On30 track with the proper tie size and spacing.

Berkshire Juction at: http://www.berkshirejunction.com/ makes E-Z Line. It a stretchy spandex material that looks good and will expand when touched and return to it's original position. Go to the web site and click on 'Scenery Products'. They even have a video of it. You secure this line...

East and west or North and South. [;)]

US Federal Law requires one end of a double ended control cab unit to be designated "F" or front. GG1, RDC and the many double ended electrics of the New Haven railroad had to have one end designated as front. This is indicated by a small 'F' on the designated end. This was also true for GP...
