Visited the UP Steam Shop last month with a group from the Sherman Hill Train Show. We were told by UP folks that they hoped to make steam in 844...
You should be aware that a Digitrax Zephyr Extra (as I have) will usually not read CVs for non-Digitrax sound decoders. I had to add a PowerPax...
Paul, Thanks for your comment. I understand the need for the reversing loop to hold the entire train, especially with conducting wheels. And...
Regarding your DCC short issue, my experience with a reversing loop may be relevant. I have a double mainline with a reversing loop on the inside...
I have similar Daylight motive power and cars - great stuff! I too changed to the Kinematic couplers - a very simple but clever design and they...
For me, I really like sound in my N-scale engines if it has reasonable volume and quality. Whether it is worth the extra cost depends on your...
I fully agree with David. They have installed sound decoders in several N-scale engines for me - always with great results and service.
I run on N-scale layouts with both NCE and Digitrax DCC systems. I have frequently had this headlight issue using NCE but not with Digitrax for...
I have installed the new Walthers n-scale DCC turntable on top of 2 inches of extruded foam board and it does not extend below the underside of...
I run my Cab Forward on Code 55 track - no problem on Micro Engineering or Pico but you will have a problem on Atlas Code 55. Need to change all...
I have one and it is a very good runner - does not derail through many Atlas and ME code 55 turnouts. Can easily take 13 inch curves. It bulls at...
The Santa Fe Southern is currently not running between Santa Fe and Lamy due to required bridge repairs. Our local club (New Mexico Rail...
I use two AR-1 units on my layout and have several sound locomotives (diesel and steam); no problems at all.
You might also try using the direct mode if you were using the page mode on the programming track.
I installed a TCS K1D4 in my new Kato SD 45. Pretty easy installantion.
Yes, I had a resistor across the programming track. You might also get better results using the "direct" rather then the "page" mode of programming.
I have used my Digitrax Zephyr DCS50 system to program Tsunami sound decoders in my F45, FP45 and IM cabforward without any problems. I have a...
They are definitely DCC ready. I installed a TCS K1D4 decoder - a very quick and easy installation -- truly "plug and play".
I have replaced the Kato couplers with MicroTrain 1015 couples - a fairly easy job that only required some minor filing. They came out at the...
I have had good success in speed matching an Athearn F45 with a Tsunami sound decoder and an Atlas SD24 with a non-sound Digitrax decoder by using...
