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? I do not have the paperwork that came with the loco?  any assist is appreciated.  I am still looking on line but thought Id tap into some knowledge here.

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. My question is has anyone done a install for this engine and if so what decoder was used? Of course I would prefer using a Soundtraxx if I can.

Thanks in advance!

Has anyone ever made the correct windows for a CNR wooden caboose?

I ask this because neither does the brass models made by Van Hobbies/Samhongsa nor the True Line Trains models of the CNR wood caboose are "bang on" in regards to their side windows.

I've yet come across a VH brass CNR caboose that didn't have the windows a tad askew or in upside down compared to the next one like in this shot.

Such crude looking windows compared to the rest of the model:

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.

HO-Gauge - Bachmann - Pennsylvania Alco 2-6-0 Steam Locomotive Mogul

Just received a new Mogul Pennsy road name and like to add some engine details per a prototype Pennsy 2-6-0. I am looking for detail items to enhance the loco. Suggestion on what details to add and the manufacture that has them.
