what would be a good inexpensive dcc controller...I have 1 engine that has sound and would like to change/adjust the cvs

I fried the lights of the dummy engine a few months back and would like to replace them...need the circuit board and wires and light board

Anybody have one...

My little engineers new steamie came today ( thanks favorite spot ) I'm not sure if there is a problem or not...it kinda scrapes goin thru turns and has a tick while moving...does it just need to be ran a little to loosen up or is there a problem and it seems a lot slower than the other steamies that we have

Is there a turn table either manual or electric that will handle up to a 2-10-2 other than the always outa stock Walthers...would be good to be some what cheaper than that one also....or is it possible to scratch build one

When expanding the layout is it ok to get more terminal rerailers ever so often and run the terminal wires to the power to track connection or is it better to run a thicker wire and attach off it ever so often and does the size of the layout have any bearing on needing the power booster or is the power booster needed for multiple engines...does the power booster put out 5 amps of will it handle up to 5 amps

which one is better... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140474612050&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT or http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180587741343&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

ok I have not been on here in a few months and I'm sure this question has come up but cant find it...I have the ez command...is there a steam engine dcc with sound that will work with  the ez command, seems like I remember that there is only 1 option on sound... the one that is currently programmed . we currently have a 4-4-0 , 2-8-0 , and a 2-8-4 ...would like a diff comfiguration...is there one that would word...gonna get a more advanced dcc controller b4 long or would it be easier to add sound to an existing engine

How well can our model railroads handle the heat and cool of unconditioned places...say like my storage building, I live in northern North Carolina near the Virgina line. My building is 10X16 and would be a great place to expand my little boys layout.

if you wanna see go to http://www.crumbsinmycouch.com/ click on blog... leave comments there or here...took a little time to cut all the wires and then run them back through the table and solder them back together, but its done and I'm glad...the reason is the dcc controller got fried and I figured now was the time, I have tested and everything works flawlessly

What can I use to "glue" down the grass mat to the wooden table top I'm guessing some type of plastic glue so it won't melt the underside of the mat...also will a hair dryer get creases out of the mat, I know you can shape it with a heat gun

Well our ez command crapped out this morning. There was a short and instead of turning off the power my little engineer unplugged the wires from the back of the controller then plugged them back in and it wouldn't work ... however Bachmann said since its only three months old to send it in and they would replace it. So about three to four weeks turnaround I guess I'm down for a while.

Does anyone know if all the spectrum Acela Express engines are dcc ready...I ordered the two engine set without cars or track and it did not say and I called the hobby store before ordering but got no answer

does anyone know of a small one room cabin that would fit next to my lake

I assume it is possible to add a decoder to the rear/dummy engine of the Acela Express...I guess you cut the wires that go from the wheels to the lights and use them to power the decoder then hook the lights to the appropriate leads...forward/backward then program the decoder on the same number as the powered engine so the lights will be properly directional...yes or no?

well here's a little start not much but a work in progress...tell me what you think  

here's my little engineer now 5yo flipping switches and driving the new steamer 4-4-0 southern  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UME6MOdT40U

My poor little Connie has hit the floor 3 times and suffered a little damage , so I emailed Bachmann and they said send it in with 25 bucks and they would fix it. So do you think it is worth fixing or should I just replace it with new. It still runs but a little jerky at times and the headlight is out and the valve gears are broken off one side for better pics go here http://s211.photobucket.com/home/nitroburnr/index
