I threw RailPro modules into my 2 GP38-2W's yesterday to get them onto the layout for an op session today. There was no speaker enclosure in these models so I skipped the sound.

That bothered me something terrible - so today I ripped them apart and did it right!

The details of the installation are in the first comment.

I have a set of Walthers Proto GP30s with tsaunmi sound decoders. I received them over a year ago as a present from my wife. I programmed them with JMRI and placed them on the layout. They are consisted. They ran and sounded great.

Does anyone know an alternative to commercial decal setting solutions? Isopropyl or denatured ethanol work?

Thanks

Lubricationg GP-20

Sun, 2015-11-08 05:25 — mstsman

I have a Walthers Proto 2000 GP-20. It has a factory installed tsunami sound decoder. It runs great, however, being about a year old I want to do some basic lubrication. The people at Walters said the shell, weights, and decoder must be removed to get to the worm. I thought about just removing the cover plate on the bottom of each truck and lubricating them. Does any one have experience doing this? Any better ideas for lubricating that engine.

Thanks

Hello,

This is my second blog; some of us now my first about a Nscale high lift coal dumper which is a little bit slow down because of some special design piece whith CAD and the wait of the design from a friend.

So because I can't stop to build something I started this new project, a N scale Architect laser kit; this is their LONG VALLEY LUMBER kit.

N Scale Turntable connection and Use

Sat, 2015-11-07 12:42 — richarde

Hello all, I am new to DCC and to N scale. I am working on my layout now and want to add a Atlas 2790 7 1/2 turntable. I will have a round house that will house 3 locomotives. Here are my questions:

1: The turntable runs off DC power. How is the track on the turntable powered as I will have a DCC layout?

2: If I turn the TT 180 degrees (to reverse the locomotive) do I need a reverse loop controller like the Digitrax AR1
