N / Re: 44 TON SWITCHER
August 31, 2009, 07:08:37 PM
My 44 tonner runs like a wildcat.  I don't think the speed is prototypical and I can't seem to slow it down.  And as far as "crawling" like I  think a switcher should - it doesn't.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to program the decoder?  Would appreciate a 14 speed step CV by CV list, if possible.  (I am still trying to wade thru programming CVs in my various locos with varying success.  Some work great, others not so great.)
Wish Bachmann would post the programming codes on their website for locos that they sell with built-in decoders.  Hello, are you listening, Bach Man?  Or is it on there somewhere and I have just missed it?
Thanks/

N / Re: Knuckle Couplers On N Scale

I agree.  And changing out couplers/trucks is a real pain in the keester.  I have had a heck of a time finding trucks that fit the cars, and adding couplers to trucks or cars  is even worse.

N / n scale locos
August 23, 2008, 11:01:32 AM
when are you going to build n scale versions of the K-27, the outside frame 4-4-0 and/or the Forney?  Kitbashing one of those is way beyond my slim capabilities, so don't even ask!
