N-Scale 4-8-4 Northern Project Update

Just a quick update on the project to merge an N-scale Con-Cor GS-4 4-8-4 (Rail Baron Series) DCC ready engine and a Bachmann 4-8-4 Northern DC engine.  This update shows the engine chassis and the 52 foot tender running in DCC with sound.  The stock speaker that came with the Digitrax SDXN136PS has been replaced by a TTX Super Sonic Mini Speaker with enclosure.  The speaker is 15 mm x 11 mm.  The sound was barely audible with the stock speaker but I think that the sound is really good with the new speaker.

I am working on putting together a clinic about tunnels - both liners and portals.  In my research I have seen some very interesting UK and German stylized castle tunnel portals, like the one in Bramhope in the UK.  I thought it would be great to build one of these for my clinic.  Bramhope, et. al. are a little more eye catching that a standard issue brick tunnel portal.

Replacement Couplers for Rivorassi and AHM passenger cars

Where can I find replacement trucks and or couplers for old versions of these cars. They all have Horn-Hook couplers and I would like to give them Kadees. Any suggestions would be greatly appreicated.

Layout Update: End of Sep 2015

Just a quick update to progress that has been made over the last couple of weeks. The first thing that I had to do was to order another box of Peco code 80 track.  While waiting for the track delivery, I double checked the electrical plan (shown in the video) so I would know where to place all of the Atlas insulated joiners (I know they are ugly but they work great).

Looking for 2 PSC detail parts

Hello,

I'm looking for 1 package each of Precision Scale 48474 flanges and 48433 unions. Walthers is out and none of the other places I shop have them. PSC has a $30 minimum order.

If you have either and could spare selling a set, please send me a message. Thanks.

What's On Your Workbench? - October 2015

OK time for "What's on your Workbench". Now that cooler weather is almost here I'm sure there will be more projects on the workbench.

Let's see what you have on the bench for the coming cold season ahead.

Are any of these controllers safe to use?

Does anyone know if it is safe for me to use these? Also what is Full vs. Pulse Power?
