Alright, I'll give it a try! hamr What's the worse that can happen? Oh..... just forget I even said that! :rolleyes: Thanks for the help Deano. :thumb: I'll keep you posted. Russell

Oh Great! I wish I would have logged on sooner! :curse: I just ordered a Bachman this morning! :rolleyes: Well, I will just have to live with it. I knew this wasn't going to be a front-line loco for me but at less than $50 I thought it would just be used as a switcher and maybe sometimes for...

Thanks for starting this one Nick. Deano, That pic is exactly what I have in my 4400. Now, do I remove the 9-pin and go to the 8-pin or, just plug the 8-pin in and go? The pix help but still confused as to how to get this thing running! And, is that 9-pin module for DC? I feel really dum! :oops...

Geez! :oops: I believe I read the instructions for the Life-Like backwards! After reading some of the posts I think I should leave the lighting board and pull the smaller (DC?) board? This would make all kind of sense seeing how the main board has the lighting and other connections on it...

Yes, as soon as I can pry the camera from my son's hands and remember how to post the pix I will. The weathering might not be done due to lack of time but, I will post them when completed. Russell

If you have access to the back of your tunnel you can have a opening running along the tunnel section, I have seen this at various shows and home layouts. As long as it is hidden who's to know. If you are against the wll then the velcrow is a great idea. :thumb: As far as RE-Railers, I could...

I have had the pleasure of following this project from day one and I am just amazed at what you have done Steve. I know I do not post as often as I should but my schedule does not allow for the better things in life right now! A tear comes to my eye when I see your progress. :cry: :cry...

Thanks again guys! :thumb: I will not give up just give in for a while. I have to much to do on the layout and a short time to get er' done. Bill, this is what confused me also. When I placed the engine on the program track and entered the code the lights lit up and I then went through the...

Jim, Discard meant remove it from the engine. I (THROW AWAY) nothing! Want to see un-numbered pieces of scrap cork, styrofoam, wood, plastic, peanut cans, odd containers, packing material, bins of small stupid parts I have trouble seeing not alone working with and bodies of old out dated...

That's it! wall1 I don't have time for this. I am going to buy the engines DCC equiped and pay for it. The trains running are the reason but, the layout being right is the prize! How are you Andrew? Nice to hear from you again. :wave: How is everything in your neck of the world? I am...

Sorry! Yes we are talking HO! :D :rolleyes: :thumb:

Alright, First thanks David & NTNH. The AC4400 Atearn has an 8-pin decoder plug. It has a board for the wiring of the various lighting and such and also an open slot for the sound. At least that is how it is marked on the curcuit board. The smaller curcuit board is mounted on to the front of...

I have several curves similar to this in my switching yard. All come off of radius curves that will not allow for anything but slower speeds to enter. The biggest problem I have encountered is the binding I will sometimes get on some of my rolling stock. this can be fixed with some...

Once again, thank you all! :D I tore the GP-9 down and indeed found no decoder or socket! :curse: Was supposed to at least be dcc ready. Had to pull the small board off of the larger board and discard it. The athearn ac4400 has the decoder in it. That is what is so confusing. This decoder...

Thanks guy's, Yes I have both locos open and I looked for a switch but could not determine what or where they would be. I am usually very good at stashing the manuals but in this case the time between the purchases and the operation has been too long! :rolleyes: One thing I do remeber from...

Lookers but no takers must mean I have a real dumb question here! :rolleyes: I actually hooked the program track to the main line oulets and it did the same thing. At least its not my track. I think! Can a loco be both DC & DCC equiped? I checked the manual again, and it said to test the...

Hey old buddy! You sure have been busy up there. :thumb: Hope to visit more often now. Showed up today and posted over at the DCC camp. Finally hooked it up and of course its not working. You'll have to tell me where you find the time & talent to do what you are doing! :rolleyes: See ya...

Alright, First its been ages since I have posted and that may be my problem. But here is the real problem; I just installed the MRC Prodigy express. Now don't go off on the system I am sure its my fault but, I have only two Locos at this time and I programed both on the program track. Both...

Hey to all, Yup, still around just been danged busy. Keep off that knee! Gives you a good reason to have people wait on ya! :D :D The oldest has had 2 surgeries on his in the last 4 months. I am prodding him to get going because he the installer for the biz! The progress on the layout has been...

Well Lynn I see your up to your elbows in great stuff! :thumb: You are still an insperation and I can't wait to get back to it. Of course I hate you for the progress you have made! :p I am testing next week and then the serious stuff begins. I also have decided on my theme and it might be...
