Diesel locos
A little help from my friends
I need some help with exploded views, wiring diagrams of a Tenshodo Brass SD 24 in HO scale. I got a call this morning from one of my club brothers who wants the exploded views, wiring diagram for the diesel listed above. If anyone has access to the information and can copy it and send it to me via email or even scan it and post it in the reply it would be greatly appreciated. George F is under the impression that the readers of the blogs and this magazine are a source of all information that is worth knowing, he has a rather high opinion of all of you.
Speaker or Speakers for a Locomotive?
I'm updating the electronics in a Atlas O SW9, including a new DHB28-Box (8 Ohm) speaker.
The SW9 has an existing speaker which is 8 Ohm and 1.25W in the fuel tank.
The new speaker will be placed behind the opening/grill at the front of the SW9.

Model Paints
I'm planning to paint two E8s to the colors used for the last run of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. There are a number of photos of the E8s, and the colors are based on the colors used by the Wisconsin Southern. I would like to use a water based paint, but am not finding what I am looking for. Any suggestions will be most helpful.
What is the metal used in Atlas locomotive weights?
I don’t have access to a spectrometer any more and wondered what the material is. Is it a pure metal, zinc comes to mind or an alloy?
Thanks.

Modeling a diesel deadline
Hey guys
Something I've always wanted to model is a diesel deadline. All major railroads have them and I think it makes a statement as to the railroad's history.
On the proto-freelanced Allagash, we have a caboose track at Madrid. With the move to 1984 a few years back, the caboose track is used less and less as cabooses begin to become less common. We still run them on most of the road jobs, but most of the locals go without, per the prototype in that era.

It might be of interest.
Looking for info on a loco
Does anyone have experience with the HO Bachmann Alco S2 with DCC and sound? I noticed Train World has them on sale for less than $100, but I'm concerned because I've not had good experiences with Bachmann stuff recently. I bought a couple GE 44-ton switchers in November, and the decoder in one died suddenly (still runs in DC though), while the other runs very poorly.
I wondering about reliability and quality of both decoder and sound.
Thanks in advance!
