I'd be interested.   I have an EZ Command controller now.   How will it work with this?  Do I need anything else?
Thanks

Are these all gone, never to be seen again??

I have bought 4 G.E. 70 ton locomotives.  Two of the decoders stopped functioning during the break in run.  I replaced them with digatrax decoders.  Has any one had problems with the factory installed decoders?

Just curious.  If they were new,  why didn't you return them?

Not every Youtube video is a good idea.....lol.

Agree!

Never read, heard or have seen anyone doing this.

Watch the video??    I posted the link.

Thanks to all.  I'll try seeing if the frog is a bit high but I have to wait until Saturday.

Is that particular turnout part of a reverse loop or wye??

It's a simple Atlas brass left hand turnout.

It was a tutorial from Model Railroad Hobbyists

Did you mention what brand of track you are using?

Yes, older Atlas brass and new flex track,  I solder wires to the rail joiners but I guess I'll have to do all 3 ends now.  I only did the problem end.

Saw a you tube video about applying a graphite stick on the rail tops for better continuity.  Anyone done this?

Update:
All 3 DCC engines stop the same at the same place, the same way.

Thanks, you 2.    I've got plenty of jumpers.  It just seems like 1 dead little spot.  I'll just have to speed up a bit through it.  This does it.
Both wheel sets work fine.. I did that little test.   Like I said before, it's just this 1 spot.  I've swapped out many different track pieces and still the same result.

I got the Bachmann GP 7 DCC with Sound and am curious  to know if  there are pick ups  on both wheel sets?      I have one turn out where it stops 1/2 way on the next track section( a power terminal piece) when going through the curve part at slow speed.   It's fine going straight at slow speed back and forth and also going BACK through the curve at slow speed.  It's just when it goes slow through the curve. It's fine at a higher speed, just not at the slow speed.  I'm using older Atlas brass turnouts and it's fine in the other ones I use.  I did try another turnout and the same thing happened in the same location. Try a 3rd turnout??   Also, the rail joiners at the curve part have wires soldered to them  and there is power on both sides of the turnout so I think the power is ok.   Any thoughts?
Thanks

Just might try that some day, Thanks

Yes, you're right.  They were very unique in that regard but I'd be happy with a Northeast style caboose  or the 36' wide cupola  caboose that Bachmann already makes  even though it's not very prototypical for the BAR.

I would hope they'd make a bunch like other roads but making a long lost rr engine seems to need the caboose to go with it.   They DID make the GP9 I have.  Most of the fallen flag rr s have both engines and cabooses available.  This must be a really long lost fallen flag.
