Diesel locos
Snapshots From Thursday Kansas City NNGC 2014
These pics are from Thursday during the National Narrow Gauge Convention, from the Contest Room and one layout I visited. They are in no particular order, nor do they represent all the models entered or even present at the time I was there. Most if not all are just plain stunning in person. These will give you a snapshot, I'll add the rest as comments to follow. I hope you enjoy them. (Most you can click on and get the larger pic) --Geoff Bunza

What's going on here?
I was sent this photo with a request to know something about it. I kind of recall seeing this somewhere before. Can anyone supply the context for this?
Removing Athearn headlight bulbs
Hello All,
Does anybody have an easy way to remove the headlight bulbs on horizon era Athearn locos?
Right now my SW1000's have an unusual "cross-eyed" look to the headlights.
Thanks in advance,
Skoti
Cool CN lashup with slug and GMD-1
I took this photo two years ago in Prince George, BC. Thought some of you guys would dig it.
In surprising Support of Bachmann
Today I purchased a DCC equiped Bachmann N-scale EMD NW2 switching locomotive, despite my last Bachmann purchase (a British Class 66) being way less than satisfactory. Why you say? Because I have a good relationship with my local hobby store & could take it back if it was not satisfactory.
Modern Rivarossi Wheels
So My First Time Posting. Got a problem with wheels.
I recently dug out my 2 old Krauss-Maffei ML 4000 diesels to upgrade to DCC. This was actually an easy upgrade. My first attempt at installing a decoder. Talk about a lot of space in the shell! 45 minutes and I couldn't wait to get to the club meeting where we have a programing track and JMRI upstairs in the club meeting room. All went well except for the volume, but that is for another posting in another category. Anyway, all went well.
Athearn genesis MP15AC issues. FIXED
Hello all. Have an Athearn genesis MP15AC that runs erratically. It stalls and runs every few steps. Anyone have issues with this model?. What to check?
Maybe have to clean the wheel pickups but I don´t know how to disassemble the trucks.
Genesis GP15-1 sounds like there are rocks in the speaker
I have a Athearn Genesis GP15-1 (DCC with sound) that sounds like it has something rattling around in the speaker. The bad sound is still there if I have the speaker out of the loco. I have used 3 different speakers and get the same scratchy sound. I am beginning to think it is in the sound files.
Anybody else have this problem? And, of course, any solutions?
I have another Genesis GP15-1 that was a non-sound, DC version. I installed a Tsunami GN1000 decoder, the install was easy and the sound is good.
