Con-Cor Daylight Cars

I got 6 Con-Cor daylight cars and my dad can't find the right kind of coupler that matches the Bachmann Railfan HO 4449
the passenger cars had long couplers but my dad wants medium length couplers.

Middle school model RR: linkage

With roadbed in place on the risers at the appropriate grades and vertical curves it’s finally time to start laying track. At least that’s what it seems like to the students. But there are a number of design decisions that need to be resolved before any track can actually be fastened to the homosote.

Has anyone ordered from Wholesale Trains ? I am in the process for shopping to get a NCE Power Cab and it seems that they have the best price for $143.99. So I wanted to know if anyone in the group have experienced ordering from them.

Thank you in advance.

Advance Consisting Question

Fri, 2014-12-19 10:51 — akarmani

I have a question concerning Advance Consisting. As I understand it, an engine will respond to its normal address if CV19 is 0; however when CV19 is changed to the consist value (1-127, Bit 7 used for direction control) the decoder knows it is in a consist. As long as CV19 is not 0 the engine will not respond to speed commands using the engines normal address.
