Hi Folks,

EBT Roundhouse Changes

Fri, 2012-04-13 04:39 — royhoffman

When I changed the roundhouse and turntable over to the EBT from the S standard guage, I figured that I would have to alter the scratbuilt roundhouse to look a bit more like the EBT prototype. 

Here's the way it originally looked.

Good Evening,

I'm having a bit of a conundrum here and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for or need on my own.

Walthers Proto parts?

Wed, 2012-04-11 18:54 — DKRickman

Has anybody tried buying parts from Walthers?  I've heard that they will give away replacement parts, but what if you want to use the parts to build or modify another model?

Specifically, I'm interested in the drawbar/electrical connector that they use on the 0-8-0, and possibly the drivers on the 2-8-8-2.  That drawbar is one of the most intelligent designs I've seen in quite a while, and I would love to use it on my locomotives.

Installing surface mounted LEDs in my DCC steam locomotive

Wed, 2012-04-11 18:37 — traintalk

I am working on installing DCC in my engine and using surface mounted LEDs (SMD) as lighting. I am installing them in the headlight, classification lamps, cab light and firebox light.

To reduce the number of wires from the tender to the engine, I decided to use 2 decoders, the first decoder is a light only TCS FL4 decoder. This decoder will go into the smoke box. The second decoder will be a Tsunami and it will go into the tender.

Replacing Locomotive road numbers on Proto 2000 F7

Wed, 2012-04-11 11:35 — surfliner

Just received my Proto 2000 Santa Fe F7's for my El Capitan. I would like to use these locomotives on my San Diegan service "1963 era" and need to replace the road numbers. Would someone give me advice on how to remove and reinstall the new numbers?

Thanks
