Installed relative Digitrax decoder in my loco. Before replacing body shell ran loco and it performed as expected.

Replaced body shell and all I got from the loco was a slight lights flicker.

Removed shell and it runs perfectly. Any suggestions?

Is there any convention on how directions labels should be noted?  What do you use for direction (if anything)?
I'm talking about compass points (N, S, E, W) as they relate to the movement of trains around the layout.
I assume layouts based on real prototypes (especially point to point) would probably use the geographic directions.  But what of continuous loop designs that fold back on themselves?

Hello guys,

I want to make a small swamp on my layout, but I'm not sure how to, especially a slime on a water. Any idea? I've been looking for but I have not found anything useful yet.

Thanks in advance,

Ok, for those that are thinking about battery power and radio control. This engine is controlled by a DelTang 2.4Hz receiver.

Here's a close up of the engine uncoupling from the cars.
