They are not drop-in as they have a straight divergent route, making it better in cross overs ! They can be easily switched with the MTB's (and...
Once again, great to see that magnificent winter themed layout although not on these terms ! I read many posts and found many references in my...
Rob, could you have used Code 40 rail for the ramp curves? Ho did you did do the underneath electrical pickups ?

Looks like this when done: (Similar to others but better Decoder-to-Chassis fit) [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Installed the smallest Decoder: Doehler & Haass PD05A. -3 gets you wired, -0 no wire. And that is a PD'zero'A [ATTACH] Pix of Decoder are...
Hmmm . . . I can't edit the post with the above 4 images. The Board Cuts is wrong (it as a mark to cut on top surface, which won't work). It was a...
Sorry for delay, N-scale wifie said something about a locomotive in a tunnel. Besides the component removal, you need to cut s or 3 traces to...
I have all of the possible DCC decoders to put into the spaces on the RS/RSD chassis. The Chassis is 6.9mm wide and the shell is the 'same so no...
Its complicated. The 2 diodes are for Power pickup for the LED's. They aren't used for DCC. If you can WAIT a day or so, I am trying to Crop,...
I’ll be using a buffer 40’ Gondola or maybe a 33’ or so to do my switching. This should help, at least on the MTL side. Most all of the rolling...
I use a lot of the MicroScale N decals, especially the Graffiti and Tag. The problem is finding what you want, on their site or catalog. It’s...

Not to mention, how to make/keep the top surface flat (without crown) front-to-back and level (like no wavy left-to-right. The sharp edges can be...
You can use either but the LEDMOMO has the Reversing switch (it may not me where you want it tho). You can also use any light dimmer that comes in...
Lajos Thek of ZoCal was a watchmaker by trade. He made the first of these (for Z). I think about a year (or bit more) Searails made theirs and...
Many have wired with "magnet" wire, typically that orange-red stuff. It hasn't been a problem with the random wire shorting. Much of it crosses...
LED's make the light flicker more pronounced, as they respond instantly. If track power pickup is not perfect, you will obviously see it. Without...
for *any* SuperCap or Capacitor banks (See: Zmodell), they will need to be in a B-unit, Boxcar or Tender (if the decoder is in the Cab). The Caps...
I'm not taking one apart, just to show you :sneaky: Sven, After taking the tender shell off, you will see the motor on the frame. Unsolder the...
