JMRI Decoder Pro Setup Mac?

I am looking for help on how to set up the JMRI Decoder Pro Software for a Mac. It is a MacBook Pro running the most recent operating system. I am using the NCE Powercab system and the USB interface. I am looking for help on how to set this up as I am having trouble. I would check the JMRI Yahoo group but can not access it since my school has is blocked.

Thanks,

Right size of wheels

Hi all.

Some things on the US scene are new for me. And one thing the size of the wheels. Why? Because almost all of my rolling stock (N Scale) has plastic wheels and I want to change that. Metal wheels will give them  a bit more weight and I'll add some more. After I read Mike Confalone's thrid book, I really want to try all of this.

Doubt came into my way when I was seacrhing for replacement wheelsets, and I saw 33" and 36" sizes.

How can I know what should I use for my cars?

Thanks.

Tichy Reefer Part 2

In this update, I tried Joe's suggestion on the touch up. It looks to have worked pretty good, so thanks for the tip again.

Tichy recommends a mix of Boxcar red 70% and Tuscan red 30% for the car ends and ice hatches. So this is what I had on hand. Poly Boxcar red and some art acrylic Tuscan red. Gave the mix a try and it worked out good.
