Has anyone put a decoder in one of the new thomas engines? The only directions i see online is for a Tomix made loco. also when the loco runs in standard dc it stops and stalls all the time even on clean track. I was thinking of adding a coach behind Thomas with extra pickups.

I recently had a f-7 shell given to me, the question is will this fit on a gp-40 chassis. the f7 shell is new but the gp 40 is about three years old.

Does anyone know why they stopped the tourist train in Gettysburg?

We would really like to see an n scale Thomas.

 If i were to take a Microscale sheet of decals to a Staples or Office Depot, could they print them on my own decal paper?

How come Bachmann sells their trucks with no wheels? What wheels will be compatable with these trucks?

 Has anyone used the pick up pieces off of a f-7 on the trucks of a sd-45? I know the wheel arrangement is different but it might work.
I tried wiring directly to frame but still losing contact. 

Does anyone know how to keep the plastic cover over your layout from catching trees and outher tall objects on the perimiter?

 Whats the best way to remove the wheels and still keep them in quarter? 

Who would like to see an n scale Thomas? I would.

 I was wondering has anyone modified the copper contacts that touch the bottom of the frame halves? I was thinking i could solder a wire to that and tap into the bottom of the frame, any suggestions would be appreciated.

 I have a Reading sd-45 and i tried to couple it to a lifelike gp-20 with the truck mounted coupler and it keeps derailing the gp-20, i tried using a long shank coupler no change. The curves i am using are 11.25 any suggestions.

 Does anyone know if they are still making these from Bachmann, they are not EZ MATE ,they came in a pck of short and medium lengths and they were super easy to install. Checked Bachmann site no luck.

Everyone wants them, how come you wont make them? We all need them for our soundcar projects, hence thats why they are always sold out.

 How come nobody makes a do it yourself install decoder for o scale? Im thinking along the lines of some of the n and ho decoders but made for o scale. I think this would be a good idea if someone wanted to buy a cheap loco and install for themselves, and then just add a speaker.

 I wished to purchase extra trucks for a powered boxcar for sound and they are all sold out, does anyone have an idea where i can purchase these?   

Has anyone made a dummy out of one of the new f-3 b units? I want to save the original chassis so does anyone know what trucks to use? I also want to put a sound decoder in the b unit.

Did they have more than one boxcar with the Susie Q logo on it? For some reason i remember reading about it but am not sure.

Does anyone know if this tourist train is still in operation?

Has anyone made a sound car using a coal hopper car?
