HO / My Southern GP50
May 20, 2014, 09:14:07 AM
Hi, tried to post this in the DCC forum but there does not seem to be a message button.I have a Bachmann Southern GP50 I would like to add DCC to.Is there an easy way to do this,or should I just buy a GP 38-2 or 40 with DCC and just swap drives?

On30 / Forney info
November 18, 2013, 02:48:44 PM
I don't know if I'm just not looking in the right places or what but I can not seem to find a minimum radius for the Bachmann Forney.I'm not worried about mainline radius as we are using standard 4' NRAK modules,but we may have some tight curves on the branch lines.

On30 / Where the heck do you put
September 17, 2013, 10:40:32 PM
the decoder. Hi, I have several On30 locos one of which has a brand new decoder installed This is a gas mechanical.I have several steam units I want toput decoders in but I am curious as to where Bachmann puts them in the DCC equipted Porters and and the 2-6-0s.

Another question I have is ,are all of the On30 units decoder ready? I know my other gas mechanical is becuse it has wiring directions for installing one.

On30 / Non- cooperative DCC equipted gas mechanical
August 13, 2013, 10:32:30 AM
Hi,
About a year and a half ago I bought a DCC equipted gas mechanical.other than a short inspection the loco was never out of the box till last night.I put it on the club's layout, selected the 003 setting and nothing happened.No motion, no lighting, nothing.

We checked it for straight DC and it runs fine but I want my DCC.

While I am asking for help/information I have another one that is straight DC ,the question is How much trouble would it be to put DCC in this one? 

Thanks for any help.

HO / Early version Dash 8-40C
April 30, 2013, 11:51:53 AM
I have a very nice running early pre DCC Dash 8-40C that I would like to convert to DCC.What I need to know is if the motor is isolated from the frame.It looks to me like it is, but I figure this is the place to find out.

Anybody got an answer for me ?
