Hi- I installed an ESU Loksound select direct sound decoder in an Intermountain F3.  I used an ESU sugar cube 8 ohm speaker, mounted with some styrene baffles.  All normal functions seem to work fine, and the sound is very good.

i have section of track between two peco switches where my dcc engines will stall and sputter. the switches are peco non insulated Im thinking it is the rail the connects the frogs any ideas

I posted this over on the Proto 48 list serve, but wanted some thoughts from people here in MRH that have had major shifts in their modeling scales over the years.
First off, I've modeled in HO, N, and large scale over the life of my modeling career. Without further ado, here is my rambling and thoughts.

Hello group,
I've been following Gene's blog for a few years now about his adventures into P48 and thought I would join this group and get some ideas/opinions.

The Tonopah & Tidewater Railroad is my 10 x 18 HO depiction of southern Nevada mining railroads circa 1915.  Starting with the founding of Tonopah in 1900, the discovery of significant mineral deposits led to the development of a series of towns including Goldfield and Rhyolite south of Tonopah.
