Hi all,

I want to glaze some small windows on MOW equipment. I have some Micro Kristal Klear that has gotten thick. Would anyone know of an appropriate thinner?

Thanks for any advice.

Hi.

I am having trouble with Micro-Tsunami TSU 750 decoder that I installed in a DCC ready HO Bachmann 80 ton three truck shay locomotives.

I have yet to connect the speaker as I wanted to see if I had done it right first before modifying things to fit the speaker.

The loco moves forward and in reverse but very slowly and with much noise and the light don't come on.

So I put another locomotive on the track and it works fine. I took the tender apart again and rechecked my soldering work, it appears to be ok.

Santa delivered a new pickle salting station to add to my not very diverse logging and mining RR.  At present the longest car on my layout is an old passenger car everything else is < 36' scale length.  Those 4 vat pickle cars look a bit out of place behind my geared steamers- they are too long.  Is there some rule that pickles must roll in 4 vats?  I have scratch built a 3 vat version on an old 30' truss rod flat car which looks better on my tight radius curves.

I have one diesel loco with sound on my layout. While the sound is great and all, I would like to be able to get it to sound a little more prototypical. What I would love is to have only 8 speed "notches", and the ability to coast (is that the right word?) long distances, and apply the brakes with the push of a button. Is this possible with any type of decoder without having to manually control the engine sounds? Today the loco has a ESU Loksound decoder.
