Would a QSI Magnum decoder and speaker fit inside the climax?

Any chance they will be out before christmas? Got the mallet last year hoping for another locomotive this year

So there's no way you can have the firebox/cab light when using the QSI decoder? darn .....

Is it safe to run the locomotive in dcc mode and yet leave the cablight/firebox switch on DC ?

Hey folks, Have recently put a PnP QSI Aristo chip+speaker into my bachmann mallet and have been very very very impressed with the sound output and control ... BUT ... When showing the locomotive's new features to my father he asked (this one doesn't have a firebox flicker?) that's when I noticed that under dcc my locomotives cab light + firebox flicker no longer work?

I am using a bachmann Dynamis set and have no idea why this would be??

The flicker works if I put the switch at DC track mode using a standard LGB 1amp controller but as soon as I put it back to DCC using the dynamis no joy .....

Any help would be great!!

Any updates when the Forney/log skidder will be available?

Great review ! couldnt agree more about the mallet  !!!


Having just recently installed the qsi chip + speaker into mine I agree and wish bachmann had just installed a speaker already!

yea bachmann trains will run fine with an lgb controller , should work visa versa aslong as there is no "pulse" function as that can damage LGB locomotives if i remeber correctly !

Hey all, Have the Heisler's been discontinued? was after a Pardee Curtin Lumber Co version

Thanks
Dan

I too am interested to hear the answer to Udo's questions hopefully someone will have an answer!

Any suggestions on how to flip (where to grab a hold) the engine for lub, etc...so that the truck don't flop and damages themselves or other parts of the engine.   i just feel a bit awkward and wonder if someone has it down pat.  Thanks.

Glad im not the only one that finds it hard to move this loco about. The method Jon mentioned is probably the easiest!.

Id go for a climax, those loco's look awesome wish they were still available!

Checked mine everything seems to be in order, will keep checking though thanks for advice


Glad I went for the Little River Logging Roadname looks awesome!

My Mallet turned up this morning! Just in time! Cant believe how fast I got mine, was shipped from US on monday arrived in the UK today! Have to wait till tomorrow though before i can open it

Could someone take a picture of the 2-6-6-2T with a Connie and /or Annie in the same shot? I'd like to see how large the loco is and whether it might be feasible to downsize it to 1:22.

If no one does before mine turns up ill take you a picture of my connie along side the mallet

Mine is on order woo! Sadly the little river logging roadname was out of stock in UK so I am importing from US ! cant wait for it to turn up
