While I use Digitrax boards in my E units, I typically wrap the long phosphor bronze contacts with capton tape where the motor leads come up...
Ordered. WINNING! The S.
They are having some server issues. It is not hosted on a "paid" hosting service. Tom will have it going again, just have to give him time to get...
Not so much custom, more like whiz-bang. Since the video was created it's gotten new brains and voicebox. Working on a lighting now....
I did the write up on lowering the ride height of the shell and closer coupling of the units. IM F-7 Project Pt. I IM F-7 Project Pt. II IM...
I agree with SkipGear on this. The older Small tenders offer more space inside to allow room for all the gimmicks. The only negative to the...
The Red Caboose "Uni-Mates" work pretty well and need just some slight tweaking to fit the coupler pocket between units. They made the same...
Bachmann's have a lot of play in the siderides. It sounds as though the rods may be hanging up on one another. Drop power, leave it where it sits...
You can contact Intermountain for spare parts. They were very helpful in getting me parts without many questions other than my address. The S.
I'd probably get some Micro Krystal Klear (from Micro-Scale) and a fine brush. Just use a tiny bit around the edge of the window and pop it into...
Nathan M's are definitely made...I have a few that I had picked up from a random individual at a trainshow that had a slew brass parts years and...

From what I've experienced so far, it's got some cogging and it pretty much starts at 3 smph. But it also did the same with the stock decoder as...
It's not the same as other decoders. The directions even state it's a 28 speed step decoder. But the BEMF is the true reason I am exchanging out...
There was no problem with the wiring or the diagram, the 4-6-0 board is A-OK. The truck contacts are different between the USRA Small and USRA...
[IMG] Voila. Need some final fitting but this should be enough to get you along! The S.
I figured out what the issue is, the contact finger from the trucks on the Medium and Small spectrum tenders are different. Put the right trucks...
Not all 5 chimes are created equal. BLMA is a Leslie, while the Atlas is a Nathan. Nathans are noticeably smaller than Leslies as well as the...
[Cross post for more eyes to advise] I picked up the Bachmann 4-6-0. Its nice but I want the smaller tender because it just looks better. So I...
