Diesel locos
[GWMS] Awesome News
I did post this in our club topic but I couldn't help putting it here to. I will be receiving for me a NCE cup, hat and shirt along with for the club an NCE Power Cab System I can't wait to try this thing out. Also with that they sent 4 decoders which is a perfect start for our club.
Sound for N diesel
Thinking of purchasing a new loco and never having any experience with sound decoders I would like some advice.Picked out a GP38 and digitrax decoder SDN011A0. I prefer the 4 axle loco.Being a very senior citizen I could not do the installation but I note that one of the MRH sponsors would handle that. I think it is a Kato loco.I use the Digitrax DCC system. Any advice? Do it or steer clear of this - maybe someone has a different loco to start with.Thanks. Tom
Mix and Match Locomotives
Can you mix and match locomotives and rolling stock from different manufacturers (DCC/Sound engines) or is it advisable to stay with one manufacturer.
GWMS Model Railroad Club
Hi I am sure most of you have seen my past posts on the Model Railroad Club and had a suggestion to combine them all into one so this is where I will move all past posts and future ones so they can be easily found. If anyone has any other suggestions feel free to post them in the comments or PM me thanks again to all of you people who have helped and are following my posts.

Instruction Sheet for Proto 2000 Alco PA
I'm looking for a copy of the instruction sheet with exploded parts diagrams for a Proto 2000 Alco Pa. I believe the model is the early version from about 1995. I've searched the web but haven't found anything.
Weekend Project - Installing a Digitrax Sound Decoder in an N-scale Kato E8A with an Aztec frame
I have some great running N-scale Kato engines (E8 A/B, PA-PB-PA) as well as a BLI Paragon2 sound equipped E8A/B set. But I was really interested in seeing how sound could be added to at least some of the Kato “A” units.
Bad news: another engine failure on the OCR
While running around the loop, Boston and Maine GE 44- tonner (ex-NP 628) cut out, and is stuck in neutral! With 110 out of the running, the only available power for mainline trains is the GP38-2 still undergoing a re-do, the 8304 (Rock Island), and the 2026. The 1684 is currently waiting on a tender repair, and all other locos besides the RDC car are broken down for some reason. The road needs a diesel at current, so the shop crew has decided to try repairing DT&I 8111 again.
