N Scale Locomotive Grille

Does anyone have an idea where I might find a suitable product?

Thanks

JMRI Decoder Pro Setup Mac?

Mon, 2015-10-05 05:29 — trainmaster247

I am looking for help on how to set up the JMRI Decoder Pro Software for a Mac. It is a MacBook Pro running the most recent operating system. I am using the NCE Powercab system and the USB interface. I am looking for help on how to set this up as I am having trouble. I would check the JMRI Yahoo group but can not access it since my school has is blocked.
