Diesel locos
Great Northern EMD NW3 Switcher
I am planning on scratch building/kit bashing a HO model of the Great Northern EMD NW3 diesel locomotives built in 1939-1942.
While I have found several photos and general information I have been unable to find a set of plans or drawings of this locomotive. I've checked all the web sites I can find and contacted several GN type people but no luck.
Soundtraxx Tsunami Sound Start on Engine Select
OK...I'm pretty sure I've seen someplace that on the Tsunami you can set the sound to come on only when the engine address is selected vs the default which is sound on when track is powered on. I can not find the CV(s) to do that in looking thru the technical reference manual.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Bob
A little help putting a Genesis GP51-1 shell back on the chassis.
I bought a GP15-1 that was DC only and installed a Tsunami GN1000 (Drop in replacement) and now can't seem to get the shell back on. (No, not speaker interference, can't even get that far). Every thing is tested and all hunky dory... except for getting the shell back on.
I saw a YouTube video about taking the shell off and that was helpful. No luck about finding something about putting it back on. I can't figure out where the problem is. This is the first time I've removed a Genesis shell.

When models are not available of the items you want to include on your layout, customizing is the next option.

Programming a Genesis GP15-T
Hi,
I have gotten my paws on a Genesis GP15-T, and it runs rather... good.
I just would very much like it to rev up before it starts moving - as is, it'll start moving for a few seconds before the prime mover even leaves idle...
Thankyou for your time

DCC engine showing short when placed on main line with Digitrack
Engine running fine until hitting a rail spike that poped up in center of rails and tried to place it back in service but started the DCS50 flashing indicating short. Placed other engines on track and ran fine. What is wrong with my loco?
