That's just the pic i needed to see. The answer is (from that pic) Yes, 2004 will work perfectly - the screw hole is near the back of the coupler on the 2004 so it will clear the internal parts fine. It may pertrude out the front of the shell, but it should look fine and be an adequite conversion.

We are all in the dark about the coupling. I too am looking to convert. However having looked at pics (not the underside yet), I believe the generic MT 2004-1 coupling will be the best replacem,ent.

It should run fine. DCC decoders will usually run in Some form of DC mode- though the functions will not be usable. If it doesn't, It should be simple enough to remove the decoder.

 They sure can pull cant they. They'll have no problems going up my 6% incline.

Could you take a photo of the coupling well, so that i can work out a pssible MT conversion. I believe it should be the same as the H16-44, in which case it will be the 2004-1 (I have a spare pair from when i did my H16-44), but could you photograph it anyway please ^_^

fingers crossed ^_^

Maybe they piloted the boat into the Bermuda Triangle where the vengeful giant train spirit lives.

9 months waiting and still counting.

more trucks/wheelsets. I've broken my H16-44's truck and cant find a replacement. I e-mailed customer support and got no response aswell.

Close the door. Keep them out of the room.

My cat keeps climbing on and damaging my layout. All i do is throw her off it when she climbs up there. They soon get the message.

xTrkCAD has parameter files for B'Mann EZ-Track, so you can design your plans using the EZ-Track.

I know sources in the UK, but i'd have to look for ones in the US - there will be loads, just a matter of looking.

You should get TCS decoders, they have a no quibble money back guarentee, and are virtually impossible to destroy - Ive blown up one of mine (smoke, melting, etc.) several times, and it still works perfectly.

here you go. . .

I've seen it done, with one decoder serving both units. I'll hunt out the link.
