Part 2: N-scale Engine Project to Create a DCC Ready Santa Fe style 4-8-4 Northern
This is a continuation of my current DCC engine project. The project goal is to merge the looks of the N-scale Bachmann 4-8-4 Northern (Santa Fe style) with the DCC ready guts of an N-scale Con-Cor 4-8-4 GS4 (Rail Baron series). The first part of this project was in the second portion of my Layout Update Mid-May 2015 YouTube video.
Atlas Track Cleaning Car comes to the Richlawn Railroad
Yes, I know that I can hand vacuum my track on my layout; however, I'm using the excuse that I will have a tunnel that I can't reach with by hand, so.............
I purchased an Atlas track cleaning car and installed a DCC decoder in it. This is what the chamber looked like after three trips (approximate 40 ft per trip) around the layout. I'll also use the polishing disks every so often to clean the crud off the rails.
