NCE BACHMAN GP7 VOLUME CONTROL
I Know the function 8 key turns sound on or off, but is there a way to just change (lower) the volume of the sound for a Bachman GP7 using NCE power cab?

Ingalls 4-S
Greetings all,
I've gotten a job to install a sound decoder in a brass Ingalls 4-S. Doing research I know this loco had some type of marine V-8 in it but I have no idea what kind.

Thanks in advance!

Prototype Info - Modern Transload Facilities
Hi All,
Looking to add some interest to my proposed yard area and found a perfect building on my prototype that was recently gutted by fire: in my version of present time, my shortline purchases this adjacent property and converts it to a transload facility to serve the many manufacturing firms in the surrounding area.

Planning Layout
Since I've subscribed to MRH and have been reading the issues and the blogs, I now find myself itching to start building a layout using TOMA's or some such sectional modules. I know what I want to model and the approximate era. Now I need to pick a scale, equipment, track, and structures.
