Traincrazee,
Yes, the bachmann set up is a intermediate board with an 8 pin Connector fror the bachmann decoder, so a swap as you suggest is the easiest solution.
You may need to ease the underside of whatever load you use to allow for your new connector.
In hindsight hard-wiring a Tsunami is a bit of a pain in the neck working out how much wiring to cut off the existing loom going to the Loco and those coming from the Tsunami - I did mine about 3 times before I had achieved a neat fitting.
I'll be doing it all over again pretty soon as, in making mods to the loco the wires to the Loco cct board kept breaking off. Resoldering these got to be tedious as I tried various things out on the chassis - including installing a surface mount LED in the cab to enable the painted plumbing to be seen! Finally, in frustration I managed to put a hot soldering iron into the hand holding the loco, resulting in me dropping the loco onto a rather hard tiled floor; result was a badly damaged 4-4-0, a badly burnt finger, a cracked floor tile and a very irate wife. the latter I couldn't understand - I mean to say, fancy crying over a £30 floor tile instead of a £150 loco and a poorly hubby in need of TLC!

My next rewire is going to throw out the cct board and loco-tender connections and wire in 2 x 4pin mins connector leads. It will serve 2 purposes - provide stronger wiring and make the connections easier to make/break.

Why wait?
Get yourself the full blown micro Tsunami light steam version and fit it yourself rather than waiting for the diluted version that Soundtraxx fit in.

At the tender age of 62 I resemble that remark!

Yes Pop means Popular. I thought everyone new that term?

everyone who is 12 years old maybe.

please make an effort to use real words.

thanks,
Scot

popular?

BSFO = Bull S*** from Oz ( Australia )

My experience is that all the Chivers cars could benefit from some added weight

I think he's got his nomenclature wrong. If you look through the pictures, you'll see the new 4-4-0 for 0n30, but no Moguls.

John,
Shame the site is all in german and Babelfish doesn't recognise the Homepage URL.

kevin
have a look at:-
http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/featured.php
Where you will find what parts come with the 4-4-0

Any item in a cct board with an L designation can safely be assumed to be a Choke or inductor.
If in doubt, carefully cut one leg of the component in such a manner that you can reconnect it if a trial run proves negative.

Every DCC fitted loco I have bought was set to Engine #3 - I think this is the default setting.
The C16 was a nice model when it first came out, but still suffered in the detail department versus the Bachmann Mogul.
There's quite a bit of molded-in pipework that cries out to be replaced.
Other than, it is good looking model, runs well and wear ear defenders to listen to the sounds

What, if anything, is happening?
Have you double checked your wiring.

Thanks for posting those, Harold.
Steve certainly has been a busy fellah in nbuilding that after his move.
I was wondering how long it would be before pictures started appearing.
Mind you, they've made me jealous as I won't be able to see it in person until 2009.
CSSR manager,
You aiming to get on the wrong sde of Mr. Fisher?

Quote from: Woody Elmore on August 29, 2007, 09:15:21 AMA friend who reads these posts has chided me and said that the Southern Ry green was called "Sylvan" green, not "Virginia" green. My response is that the color was copied from the British Southern Railway so it should be properly given the British label - whatever that was!

In that case you can tell him it was " Malachite green"

Matt,
if you can't get one from someone in the US, then I have two - one of which I'd swap for a wooden style cab.
