both of you have gave me the exact answers that I was looking for....thank you very much

What's the difference in walthers 2900 and the 3041 roundhouses the 3041 is less expensive

ok I do have a question...this turntable came with the walthers 3 stall rounh house or at least most of it....there are no tracks for the stalls so can I buy just the rails without the ties if so where or do I use track and just remove the ties to get out just the rails

this is just a rough layout ...nothing programed yet... but wont be long http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb165/nitroburnr/2011-02-21_21-00-28_6.jpg

got my little engineer a Walthers modern 130' turntable for his birthday....used but it works great and even better after a little maintenance...its really cool....got it in the table well kinda...that part is not attached to the layout yet gotta get the fan track laid and tacked down but its coming right along....gotta hide it til march 25th...he's gonna flip

not to new with dcc...been running it almost a year fried one decoder ...stupid mistake

Im new to this sound thing and am using the ez command...not to good with the computer either

where can I get more info on this....does it come with a plug or does it need to be hard wired

Got my little engineer a sound installed 2-10-2 for Christmas and he loves it....Does anybody know if there is sound for the Acela Express

yeah I stirred it before I posted and it was still thin...fridge sounds like a good idea

just wondering if its normal for the ez lube gear grease to get real thin like water...been a while since I used it but I can pour it out of the container...wasn't like that last time

you have really short drawbars....looks very good tho...not saying we will ever own one but would like to build a turntable big enough to handle the big boy....just incase

Using an old LP record...what a clever idea! Old LPs can be had at any Goodwill or Salvation Army for pennies (not to mention all those old LPs some of us have stored in the basement). A step further would be to procure an old turntable (inoperable of course). The LP could be glued to the turntable and hand rotated into position.

Another option is to purchase the Atlas turntable, raise (and enlarge) the deck and install a larger length piece of track. [The turntable deck needs to be raised in order to clear the motor housing.] The turntable could then be 'lowered' into the layout surface - allowing one to utilize the excellent Atlas indexing mechanism. I suppose the new sub deck could be an old LP.

'Just a thought to stimulate discussion,

you were reading my mind with the old record player....I need to make it a little bigger so any future engine will fit w/o complication...
rog  .... you have my couriosity about the 90 footer that will fit a 2-10-2...will look into it

ok just looked on ebay and there is a zephyr extra...sounds cool...3 amps? and it says 13 volts...just for my knowing I have checked the voltage from the ez command and its 19-21 is this correct

make sure the code is the same...ie, 83, 100 and I believe there are rail joiners that will make up the difference or there will be a nice little bump there
