My treat for the day
I had heard that the Kansas City Southern, Christmas Train was making its rounds and pulled up their schedule. They were scheduled to be n Newton Mississippi today, starting at 4 this afternoon. They had a note on their site their executive train would be transporting it. This is the F7 series of Streamliner locomotives.
Here's a link to the schedule http://www.kcsouthern.com/en-us/pdf/2016-kcs-holiday-express-schedule.pdf
No more blues in the Mountain - Salvage yard area on the Richlawn Railroad!
Nothing new here - I just corrected the misspelling of "Richlawn".
NOTE: I added a video showing the step by step process of creating and installing the poly fiber mats. You can see the video HERE.
NOTE: I added more pictures and description later in this thread.

Completely new to sound decoders - need advice
Hello! I have finally decided to enter the world of sound, but I need a little basic help and opinion. I am stuck choosing between Soundtrax, TCS, and ESU for some 1st and 2nd gen EMD HO locos. I've heard a lot of great things about Lok Sound Full Throttle, and it obviously sounds great, but I'm not totally convinced that this is the right option.
Here's my basic criteria:
- Easy to program with just a Power Cab
- Has plenty of options for lighting
- Easy to install
Digitrax DCC Questions
I am reading the manual, and looking at the diagrams and doing some searches. My main search question is how many power districts? This question does not really have a straight answer and I think its because there is so much variation in current draw between older and newer locos.
All of my fleet is Atlas/Kato or Kato or BLI or now Bowser Executive which I am really impressed with. Most will get sound decoders. Loksound.
