Hi there. I have a Heljan/Walthers HO/DCC turntable code 89121. It has been in storage for about 12 months. I took it out today and connected it into my new layout. It calibrates fine but when I try and program it, I get an ERR 1.

The manual says that "There is no contact to the bridge. Please try to clean the contacts as described. Please also check the wire-connection."

Lionel is advertising a new train set. They are reproducing the Polar Express in HO as they have already done in O and S. While it looks like train set stuff with a lot of cast on detail, it is actually quite advanced with control in DC, DCC and their proprietary control which is also compatible with Blue Tooth and can be operated with an app in both Android and iPhone. 

The FICT now has a "standard" boxcar style. 16' long, wood-framed, inside-framed boxcar. Mind you, it wasn't until I took this pic that I realized that all three are even-numbered... Still, three boxcars, all built in a similar style. This style is the most modern version of the line's wooden boxcars, renumbered 140-169 by the new owners. There WILL be a "steel" boxcar as well, eventually, which will be numbered 170-199, and then fill gaps in the existing run as modern steel boxcars replace older cars.

I have been asked to rewire a Bachmann On30 4-6-0 to NMRA spec, but there does not appear to be any obvious "unscrew here, here, and here to remove the locomotive shell.

Any help would be much appreciated,

Thanks, Skoti.
