Oh. Wow. The backwards plug is usually
My trouble.

I have real tsunami's in my 2-8-0 and factory in my mallet. I can get even better running by removing the factory tsunami in the mallet and going with a full tsunami? Cool. Cause the 2-6-6-2 runs great already.

Turn the decoder plug 180 degrees in the socket and you'll be fine.

If you can't program them and aren't going to dcc, find a friend that will program them for you on his dcc
System. Takes but 2 minutes to swap decoders if there is the nmra plug Installed

thank you

Thanks john. Do you have a vendor for
Lubricant?

Mike. After my 2nd install, it will take about and hour. Add another 1/2 hour for firebox flickering lights. It's a cool effect

Ha! I WISH my was even close to Scott's. His is amazing

Uh. That couldn't possibly be my layout. There has never been any pics of it..... And its really not that good in person. But thanks?
Best of luck with yours. Hope you enjoy the whole process. I did

My porters are unreliable. All 3 of them. They loose pick up. And they are
Older styles. Guess I need some coupler springs

the motor just pry's up on mine... the contacts for the motor just get held on there.. its a tight squeeze..... you'll feel like you're breaking it... but you're not.

They are exceptional runners once you remove the factory decoder and go with something like a tsunami.
I love mine. I may get another.

Installed the heavy steam in my second Connie with a medium oval speaker and enclosure. It's much more fun having the double head each making noise

straight plaster over the foam wanted to flake off on me.. so i rasped the surface a bit.. and used plaster cloth first.... now you have to rip it off
