I'm having issues programming my Kato EMD F40 engine. It has a Digitrax DN163K0d decoder installed. I programmed the loco using the NCE power cab. I've programmed dozens of engines however, this engine only has the lights working. No direction yet. Any ideas?

Thanks-Tim

Picked up a new Accurail boxcar at the LHS and discovered that their coupler boxes no longer take a Kadee coupler and spring. or at least not very easily. Tighten the lid down, and well because the box is so shallow you can't tighten the cover down.

Tried assembling their coupler and when adding the coupler box lid things just slide around and fall apart. Any tricks to getting them to go together?

Thanks, Jack

I have one of Walthers American Cranes and by accident I knock it off the tracks. As you can bet all of the rigging got tangle up to the point I had to disassemble the crane and trying to rig it back using the diagram provided by Walthers is almost impossible. Does any one knows of any step by step instructions on how to do it? Thank you...
