When does Walthers send a confirmation notice

Hi,

Here's a pretty straightforward question for you: I just placed an order with Walthers online for the first time.  Got a slip from PayPal saying my payment went through but didn't receive a confirmation from Walthers yet.  Usually online sites are pretty quick with that.  Should I reorder or does it usually take a bit.

Thanks!

Curious if the six packs come with decals at all? Im after basic data decals for them as then will be lettered for my own road. If not i assume i need to add them on to the purchase :-)

Hi all! So, rrpicturearchives.net is a site I find extremely useful to find prototype photos. It seems to no longer be there. Anyone know what's up?

Undecorated equipment

I was pretty "in the know" 15 to 20 years ago about what products were out there, who was manufacturing what, and where to get items at decent prices. Since reemerging of late I've noticed a definite change in what manufacturers are doing. The level of quality and detail in ready to run items has increased and with it prices. That makes sense and I personally like it.

Electrostatic generator how to wire for grass applicator

Hello,

I was wondering how i need to wire my electrostatic generator for my grass applicator.

I tried option 1 before, it worked very good but only for a few uses then both the generator and the 12v dc unit died.

I dont know if the reason both died was because of me wiring it wrongly.

After  a bit of surfing i thought about option 2, but dont want to try it and having my stuff die again.

Any thoughts?

I didnt find an online store with the 3 wire unit that ships to belgium, thats why i bought my unit on aliexpress.

Consisting and BEMF

I am working on speed matching a pair of locos for the first time. Both have NCE DA-SR decoders installed. I have been advised from a fellow club member to turn off BEMF in a consist, but I can't find any info on how to do this with NCE decoders. I am doing this manually as I don't have JMRI yet. Anyone able to help?;
