I know someone mentioned "February" but I'm waiting to paint my backdrop until I can see his distant hills / hills techniques! Can you please hurry? (Grin)

TCS KOD8-A, Kato Genesis P42, Light Question

Thu, 2014-02-06 05:29 — Athlon

Hello,

I have an NCE Powercab DCC system with the USB accessory.  I just added a drop-in decoder to one of my N scale Kato Genesis P42's - a TCS KOD8-A.

I cannot get the rear light to come on.  Everything else seems to work fine.  I have JMRI loaded and can program with that, but this is my first one, so I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting.

Working Transfer Crane (0 gauge)

I thought this might be of interest - I've built it for my next layout - a small industrial theme, 8' x 4' .
The girder is fabricated from brass, the trolley and hook are machined from brass, and the cable is 0.8mm diameter silver 'snake-chain'.

Hi

A friend showed me this : http://www.scalescenes.com/. It looks interesting but it is based on UK prototypes. Are there any US suppliers with US paper models?

Kato SD40 DCC Conversion & Tune UP

Wed, 2014-02-05 23:46 — pierre52

I have just purchased a 2nd hand Kato SD40 for $54.  Research suggests that this particular model was first released in Apr 91 and that there were potentially some issues with reliable track pick up.  I then discovered this website http://www.dufordmodelworks.com/katohardwire.html which dealt with rectifying the pick up problems. Despite the flaws, I was keen to grab this item as their reputation for great running is very high. The item arrived in good shape but without any documentation.

Replacement for Floquill Driftwood, Walnut, and Pine staining replacements

Does anyone have a substitute for the Floquill products Driftwood, Walnut and Pine Staining.  In the past, I have used these products.  However, my bottles of products have dried out and I need to replenish my stock of paints.  I look forward to your suggestions.

Coloring Rock Formations

Wed, 2014-02-05 17:37 — hoffertg

I am having difficulty in coming up with a color formula for a rock formation which I created. The color that I desire is more of an orange brown (see picture below). This scene was taken on a vacation to Colorado.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Walthers name trains

Wed, 2014-02-05 16:02 — Mycroft

So, the 2014 Walthers name train was a disappointment for me, so I’m looking forward to 2015.  This thread is for speculating what it will be.

 

How about a double though?  For the first time Walthers could release a “double name train”:  Panama Limited / City of New Orleans.

 

Look at what that would entail for Walthers:

 

For the Panama Limited
