Steve, Yes, you can hook up any sound decoder without the motor leads and it will work. You will however loose the decoders ability to detect...
Well, I'm going to be adding TCS Keep alives to 4 or 5 of my steam locomotives with tsunami's already in them. Continued work on a wood structure...
This weekend was full of cutting, sanding and staining ties for installation under my newly scratch built turnouts :-)
So I *try* to focus on N&W in the 50's. That timeframe best fits what I like (A,J and Y class locos everywhere on my railroad...) However I...
Good info to know. Thanks for the update.

Came in the mail last night. Long wait time since I pre-orded it back in aug of 2008. However the good deal was that Factory Direct honored the...
I have the N&W version at home and will look at the part # sheet when I get home from work tonight. Other possibilites are brass castings,...
My bet is the bent pickup was causing the problem. I've had the same issue with those "finger" pickups bachman uses on the drivers of the engines....

Well for me its mainly HO scale, however I dabble in G just for the fun of it. (plus the wife enjoys G scale), AND I maintain my fathers fleet of...
DCC installations for as many of my units as possible. Purchased quite a few decoders at the Timonium show and need to get some more of my fleet...
Water slide for me as well. Just makes the decaling process much more stress free. I've tried dry transfer, and while I think well done dry...
Ah, I didn't catch the N scale part. So whats the cost difference between the lenz and the digitrax units?
Why do you guys say the DZ-123 isn't a good decoder? I run HO scale (all steam) and have about 15 of these decoders installed in my locos....
Yes its an ebook. and wow what a lengthy add. Personally I'd stick with the more known model RR books. What I don't like about this ad is when...
Spent my time this weekend with a soldering iron, installing tsunami decoders into my 2-8-0's and a 2-10-2. Started work on a brass 2-10-0 as...
