Hello everyone!

I'm hoping to get a little assistance.

I just received a Walthers kit, the Allied Rail Rebuilders, kit number 933-3016.

It is missing its instruction sheet. Does anyone have a set they could copy and mail to me? (USA)

I'm sure I could muddle through it ok, but I'd feel better with the instructions.

The kit is retired, Walthers can't help. Hopefully someone here can.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

Hi Jack from Star, Idaho.  I have five dummy BNSF HO prime movers that I installed MRC sound only decoders in and I want to make some changes such as volume levels etc but for the life of me I can not find my manual that shows the CV values.  Is there anyone out there that has a manual or tell me where to find one?  I checked MRC's web page but had no luck in finding one...

I am confronting wiring up the 40 odd turnouts in my layout and am curious as to the tradeoffs between using frog juicer circuitry to power my frogs or the switched contacts on the turnout motors? I am using both Tortoise motors and Atlas solenoids -- the later on the upper shelf of my layout. Motive power is pretty much all short wheelbase steam, so powered frogs to avoid turnout stalling seems pretty much mandatory. Using the contacts provides deterministic frog polarity where as the frog juicer appears indeterminate as it is driven by short detection.

The jello that is the yard layout for Deseronto is stiffening. Track for passenger service (under the shelf for the upper level) and the yard ladder has been finalized and spiked/glued in place. Access to the service areas and industry tracks (back left corner) have firmed up considerably. There have been many iterations of this layout/review/rethink design process.
