Thanks, that worked. I also awnsered my own question about the CV tables.

Kevin

I recently bought a Digitrax Zephyr DCC controller and have been trying to configure the CV's on the Bachmann decoders with no luck. I can't even change the addresses. I've had no problems with MRC and Digitrax decoders, but the two from Bachmann aren't cooperating. All I get on the display is a "d Nd" or "d NA". If it helps these decoders are from a 70 tonner and a GP40.

Also, would the CV tables from the 1-amp decoders be the same for these two?

You could drill the hole bigger in the EZ track and use a long finishing nail

wow.....total weight of 2300 tons with the crankshaft weighing 300 tons

Did I count that right? 30 stalls? wow.

Northwestern pacific

that takes care of 3

Thank you very much Ray. I plan on being there, as long as I can keep the Jeep running. I'll be sure to stop by and say 'hi' to you. This is great because I haven't been able to make it to a train show in about 7 years. Looks to be about a 200 mile round trip, but I think it will be worth it.

I guess it would have helped to spell Gadsden right to get better Google results....whoops....

Kevin

I remember reading on this board late last night that there was a train show somewhere in north Alabama (Gadsen? maybe Guntersville?) coming up soon, but now I can't figure out where I read this. Can someone point me in the right direction, or better yet- provide some information about this. Shows around here are rare, so this would be great if I could make it to one for once.
I tried a google search, but didn't get anything current.

Kevin


BTW, I'm in Huntsville if that helps

I still can't get over how well that revell kit turned out for you. Great job and thanks for the pictures.

Kevin

Amazing, nobody said Canadian Pacific

Wow. That's quite a picture. I would love to be there.

There's lots of space under and in the Jeep to mount stuff like a compressor, tank, and wiring. As far as I've been able to come up with, as long as it is under 90 DB, (and it isn't used unnecessarily) it is legal. The laws are very vague and leave a lot unclear. Even if I do get it and mount it, I sure won't be running it at the full 145 psi and 152 DB.... I wasn't planning on getting it to just randomly blow at passing cars; people around here seem to have problems hearing my little horn as they're on the phone changing clothes in the wrong lane coming towards me. I tend to drive about 1000 miles a week, so I get to deal with lots and lots of stupidity. Now to think of a way to keep mud out of the bells......


Thanks to all for the input.

This is a bit closer to what I was looking at:

I'm surprised there isn't a disclaimer saying the train isn't included......

I was thinking of putting one of these:

on this:


what are your thoughts? I wasn't planning on getting that horn specifically, but another 3-chime horn. 

edit: fixed red "x" in box

Quotenext the railroads start to park their older, or unusual locomotives,

like BNSF 1460.....sad to see that one go

not sure if this is fallen enough, but I saw a cut of 4 NW boxcars on a siding near where I work. They were all numbered in the same series and were grafiti-free (for the most part). I thought it was unusual.....
