Thanks, that's very helpful. Kinda wish they had 3-chime Leslie and Nathan horns, but for the price, I won't complain too hard.
So OK, here's the F8 startup sequence, default horn, default bell, and F8 shutdown sequence. [MEDIA]
Thanks, I'll give that a try.
I'm looking at the documentation for the new ESU sound version of the Walthers Mainline SD50. The horn and bell options seem to reflect...
In their e-mail to me, Atlas said it was not a decoder issue. The impression I had was that the motor is poorly designed or poorly mated with the...
I ordered one of the new Atlas ALP-45DP NJT dual power locos. After I ordered it, I saw a blog post where a buyer said he's been unable to get the...
That seems to be it, thanks! From the photo, it looks like DCC conversion will involve cutting some traces on the chassis PC board. Has anyone...
I have some Key Imports mostly brass made-in-Japan by Microcast N scale SD40-2s from the 1980s. I've gotten to the point where I'd like to convert...
Has anyone figured out the best way to convert a ScaleTrains N Gunderson covered hooper to MicroTrains couplers? It looks to me as if the MT 1023...

Just spray it with plain water, let it soak -- the white glue will soften and turn white again -- and either spray harder to make the ballast flow...
I would say that I've had considerably more problem with defects in NCE decoders, especially DA-SR or D13SR. Although Digitrax are a few bucks...
The P32s are common on the Starlight, but now CDOT and AMTK P32s are on the Surfliners as well. These have extra Cal Cars from up north as well as...
I was looking at the "trains operated" in your first post. The Grand Canyon operated via the Third District, through Fullerton, not via the Second...
I notice that The Original Whistle Stop in Pasadena has dropped its listing in the MR directory -- not sure exactly when this happened, but not...
I'm not completely sure what you mean. As far as I can tell, the only good way to speed match is to put two locos into a consist and see which one...
Yes, the fire took place not long before the stock was to be auctioned off. The longtime owner decided to rent the big building to a tenant who...
There are advantages beyond those listed, including full ability to control sound features, ability to speed match locomotives, and ability to use...
There are some interesting ideas here. A layout like this would focus on the premier passenger trains like the Chief, El Capitan, and Super Chief....
It's certainly possible that he said something that rubbed Walthers or another big advertiser the wrong way. That got Koester canned from RMC with...
