Lighting Caboose
Hello Everybody
Today I want to share my experience with this NdeM Caboose. It is from Athearn special editions but I make some modifications: Kadee couplers, windows, leds lights and some weathering.
Looking for some builds.
Looking for some videos of some builds... craftsman cars, buildings, shake the box, laser cut, detailing, restorations of old, or broken models...
Something to inspire me to do some modeling.
I have already seen everything related to that on TMTV... as well as MRVP...
Show me what you've found, or have done yourself.
Looking for handrails for Atlas S1/S2/S3 or S4
I am looking for Atlas side handrails for the Atlas S1/S2/S3 or S4 to support a kitbashing project that I am working on (Western Maryland Slug 138-T).
I checked ebay, the Atlas spare parts website, and posted to the groups.io site "hoswap".
Smokey Valley makes a set of hand stanchions but naturally Walthers is out of stock.
Any ideas on where else to look? I am loath to buy another Atlas loco just to score the handrails. I purchased a set of Alco handrail stanchions from Precision Scale but they are the wrong type.
Layout Benchwork Support Question
When it comes to holding up our layouts off the floor, there are 2 main ways to go. Using legs attached to the frame or using brackets attached to the wall.
lighting question on nce dasr decoder
ok so i got a handful of 3v surface mount led in the mail the other day. I have a bunch of locos with the nce dasr decoder in them. my question is with pads 3,4,5. Are they set up to wire in a 3 volt led or do they need a resistor in it? If they need a resistor what size resistor do I need to not blow out these leds. I only have a minamum amount of these little leds and dont want to fry them right out of the bag. Any help is greatly appreciated

Uses for decoder functions
Hey there. I'm currently adding a DCC decoder to an athearn GP38. I'm using a 4-function decoder (because that's what I have laying around). I've connected the front and rear headlight and it seems a waste to not put the other two functions to use.
Thoughts I'm pondering: Cab lighting. Illuminated the number boards (both front and back). Ditchlights-I would need to add the castings, but that could be done.
What do people use additional functions for? This is a non-sound decoder.
