Keith, I have found that it is best to consist like with like, and in your case it would be a P42 (MRC) with another P42 and MRC. That said, if...
200mph, you have made many good points. In Australia, there is a couple of additional rules, do not list during school holidays and certainly do...
When you instal the decoder yourself in a DC loco, you get the DC light board + the decoder. When you get the Kobo installed decoder, the...
I have found that Digitrax decoders are a pain to consist. A lot of mucking about to get them to work properly. From my experience I have found...
IMO sound is better than no sound. I have a number of locos with MRC drop in sound decoders. In recent times, two have failed (about 3 years old)....
I have the NCE ProCab. Love it!

If a TCS fits, go with it, rather than Digitrax, even though I have a few locos in which Digitrax decoders are installed. I just find them a pain...
I run four trains on a HCD but it has four main tracks, plus plenty of sidings, and I cross them over in pairs, but you have to concentrate to...
Same reply as on Unitrack forum, do the following tests. Run train in reverse. Remove offending carriage. Replace rerailer with straight piece.
If you use double crossovers where you now have turnouts on the top right and bottom left of your layout, you will get greater efficiency of the...
The placement should be exactly the same - open heart surgery. But if unsure, email Digitrax and ask them about the installation.
