Bingo for samusi01!!!! Like I said, the details on the shell were/are great but no excuse for the axle rubbing on the coupler box/screw. I just...
Not making excuses for ScaleTrains not answering their phones (personally, I've not had that happen to me) but I have noticed many manufacturers...
The new locos with the esu decoders are FAR SUPERIOR to their previous offerings. I have about 10 of them, in various models, and they run great....
David, not too bad on the failure rate. You make me feel good as I have a "significant" loco roster and have no fears of ever catching up. :-) I...
Been there almost did that... I use round toothpicks to wedge and get to where the frame tabs are. Still, it's difficult to get between that...
Recently I had 3 ESU Atlas legacy sound decoders go bad after initial testing was ok and after adding front and rear LED's and then installing...
I totally agree I totally agree with you. All of my rolling stock gets metal wheels before entering service. The only ones that keep the plastic...
I thought I added a long post yesterday but It's not here...? Anyways, briefly, all of my SD40-2's have been speed matched and have been put into...
David, check your version of JMRI. Mine is 5.6+R89 and I can read mine right out of the box

When they had their fire sale at the end of last year, I bought an Atlas N scale MRL SD-9 with sound for $98.00 !!!! I couldn't believe that it...
P.S. ...did a couple more(ESU installs in Atlas legacy locos). IMHO the ESU decoder board, where it makes contact with the frame for track power,...
Hi David, Funny that I saw this post as I just installed 2 of the ESU Atlas legacy sound decoders in 2 Atlas Dash8-40BW. The first install was...
I can't find the 59925 on ESU site but that doesn't surprise me..... I could be wrong but the picture of that decoder (SBS4DCC) doesn't show the...
I just checked and I could be wrong but I don't see that ESU offers the non sound nano (size) decoder with the E24 Connector. So its DC or DCC...
Just an FYI - Scaletrains new runs of N scale SD40-2 are coming with the E24 connector for nano decoder. Because the SD40-2 model is narrow as is...
