Hi. I wonder if someone could confirm that Atlas are now fitting ESU Loksound V5 decoders instead of Loksound Selects to their Gold series diesels. and, if so, which diesel locos were first fitted with the V5.

I recently read a review of the Atlas HO GE U23B and the reviewer mentioned a V5 being fitted. However, on the Atlas website they still show Select decoders being fitted with no mention of V5s. 

Thanks

This is my first decoder installation.  I am at a point where I need to mount the decoder, the keep alive and the speaker.  My questions relate to the best way to mount these items.  Photo below

Among the new US Track line products from Peco is the SL-115 HO Transition Track for Code 83 -Code 70. As most of my turnouts are Peco US Code 83 (the Code 70 turnouts are now just appearing in US hobby stores) and I like using ME Code 70 for sidings and 1950's yard trackage, I purchased a package of 4 of the new transition sections. 

Note that the SL-115 contains a short piece of wire visible from the underside of the track piece soldered to the code 70 and 83 pieces to maintain electrical continuity through the transition.

Will a MRC system work with JMRI?
