HO / Smoke units
October 31, 2009, 12:43:30 AM
The new steam generator car by Rapido,
has smoke that's supposed to be steam
directed down to the rails.
Is this leaving a residue on the tracks?

HO / DCC Snubber
September 07, 2009, 11:03:09 PM
My friend who uses NCE was showing me a snubber schematic. Then I see it in the Sept. M.R.
The cap is mis labled should be 50-150 volts not ohms.

I am using Digitrax radio but the brand is irrelevant.
I have now installed this on my layout.
Anyone else bothered to assemble and install one?
Any point?

HO / Bachmann motor
March 25, 2009, 10:58:14 PM
 My Bachmann motor with brass flywheels on each end has developed a flat spot.
I have to give the motor a spin to get it to go.
I was thinking I would like to get it apart to see if there is a wire off one of the segments or just to see if I can find the problem.
Anyone had one of these apart?
Removing one brass flywheel could be a problem, ideas?

Bachmann sent me a new motor,and the old one back as well
so this one is something I can pull apart.

HO / 28 Speed Step DCC Decoders
January 22, 2009, 10:46:33 PM
Some of the older Bachmann units like the SD-45 GP-35 that are
DCC on board show 28 speed steps written on the box.
No mention if this will only support 2 digit address
or if one can program a 4 digit address on a 28 speed step unit.
Is this limited to a 2 digit address?
Thanks, Jim
