San Juan Car Co Short Caboose
When assembling the SJCC Short Caboose I realized I had lost the shutoff valve that goes on the line from the train line and the air reservoir. I was going to just continue construction but then I noticed this casting and I realized it was the same setup but in one piece (and it had the shutoff valve). So my question is, is this piece in there for something else or is it for this part of the caboose, and if it isn't why would you have to build one and have the other one a one piece casting.

All,
I have recently obtained several Nn3 Freight cars..Painted DATA ONLY, D.S.P. & P. , R. G. S. etc , there has to be a way to change out the trucks to Standard Gauge? I am thinking of the DATA ONLY Freight cars.

MTH PA/PB DC Conversion to ESU LokSound
The ESU website is an excellent resource for product information and installation assistance for the Select family of decoders. If you are using the LokProgrammer V4.0, you will find its support literature there, too.
The ESU LokProgrammer speeds the task as it employs macros to set some functions which otherwise would require multiple CV entry. Similar to Decoder Pro, which also works, it interfaces through your computer once you make the easy connections and download the free software.
Allagash - Some recently weathered freight cars.
Hi guys and gals,
It has been a while since I've done much of anything on the railroad due to some personal/family issues. After a recent op. session, I took note of the number of un-weathered cars vs. weathered cars. Frighteningly in favor of un-weathered! I'll be doing this till the end of time.
BLI SW1500 Decoder Wiring
I picked up a BLI Paragon 2 Decoder with hopes of using it in another sw1500 but the wires coming from the harnesses aren't labeled well. Does anybody have a diagram for wiring on of these decoders? Or even some good pictures of one of these decoders still in a loco?
