Hey all,

Just received a Bachmann On30 coach/observation car with a lighted interior, which came with absolutely no paperwork. I've tried looking everywhere and can't seem to find a square answer...

Will these cars work out of the box on DCC, or do I need to rework the electronics to make them DCC friendly?

In case it matters, currently working with an NCE Powercab system.

Thanks for any help!

Hi,

I don't have any experience with remortoring or DCC upgrades, but I want to give it a try.  I have this old brass boxcab of unknown manufacture (although KTM is stamped on motor.) I would like to repower it and have it running under DCC/Sound and perhaps keep-alive.  It would be used for switching and running on small layouts.  I have been researching what others have done, learning about some basics.  

Recently I was catching up on all my TMTV segments, and it here was one by Miles, I Believe, where he was explaining Woodland Scenics Just Light system to someone, and he talked about getting some extra female plugs from Pololu to make our own Expansion adding our own lights already installed o our Layouts.  I can’t remember the Part number he stated, nor can I remember the episode he was in.  Thought I had added it to my favorites, but alas did not.

Can anyone refer me to the season and/episode that was?

Thanks Much,

So what are the opinions, virtues, etc of the first Tsunami verses the Tsunami 2 sound decoders.

I've been offered a deal on the #1's from a gentleman who likes to replace the older ones with the number 2's.

If I am not a real 'rivet counter' about sounds, what else do I lose??
