Just a quick side note from someone who's stripped...lots of them in the past. 91% isoprol rubbing alcohol in a tupperwear container. (70 won't...
easy peasy...so, look at the pic where the unit is wired in...under the yellow (and black) shrink wrap are surface mount resistor banks. Its...

You only need one light kit. When the dome car used in this set was originally tooled years ago, it was set up to take two light kits because...
my experience with failures in ESU decoders after installing thousands of them is that the failure rate is probably somewhere between one and two...
If we are talking N scale, there is no 'drop in' ESU decoder for the SD80/90. That and the Kato RS2/RSC2 use a board style not really used on...

It's been a minute since I repaired one of the HO shinkansen sets, but from what I recall, they used the same coreless motor as the HO P42. It...

with this jumping are you getting a clicking noise? If so, there may be a piece of debris caught in the gearcase. Also, check to make sure the...

businesses come and go. People get old and/or move on. Things change in modeling with technology changing. If there is a market for something,...
