The PPNL Equipment Roster

Thu, 2012-06-28 19:32 — JohnnyUBoat

 

I'm going to keep this blog relatively current with newly acquired equipment.  I'll try not to bore with every piece, especially rolling stock, but the plan is to share the rare pieces and (when I get around to it) some weathering.

On top of new additions, I will try to post progressive photos of current projects that I am working on - one such project will be an early-production cabless B30-7A that I hope to begin once I find a (cheap) B30-7...  There will be two of these units on the roster when everything is said and done.

P&SF – Finding sounddecoders for my locos

Fri, 2012-06-22 12:40 — Visitor

I am considering putting Tsunami sounddecoders in some of my locos. Although I have some ideas, I need some help finding the right decoders and how to place decoders and speakers in the locos.

I am aware of some great sites for this, especially MRH’s own DCC columnist, but still want ideas. Do you read me, Bruce – and others?
