I have the dh163 or 165 LOs in all my protos. No need for LEDs. Work fine for 4yrs now.
Why not use the digitrax decoder designed for this. Dh165LO. No need to replace lights. Basically pnp.
Athearn has the following 6-pack reefers in their rtr line, but I don't know what road they go with or any background info. Can you help me out?...
Ok, here it goes: If you want an H-8 Allegheny from Riv go ahead and get one---they run great! The tough part is putting a decoder in it....
There is absolutely no question that the NCE is the way to go. A number of modelers in my area have had problems with the compatability of the...
Does one have to take any precautions before running these things on a DCC track. Do I need to install a decoder or will the lights work on DCC...
Could somebody give me their reaction to this model. How does it compare to the Lionel HO version. Is the sound and quality comparable to BLI...
I kinda find it funny that the reason given that there is such a reduced price on the athearns is because there are more of them. Doesn't seem to...

Hey all, I have two Atlas HO BW40-8Ws that I cannot seem to program for the life of me. I am using a NCE PowerCab currently. I had programmed an...
