I have some Walthers well cars that require some touch up. Has anyone found a good paint match for the TTX yellow? The only caveat is that I...
I had this same problem with the Digitrax decoder. I gave up and switched to the comparable TCS decoder. Problem solved. Jim
FWIW, I figured that I'd sell off some of my "extra" Kato Dash 9s with the arrival of the Atlas Dash 8s. No longer. I'll keep my 2 C40-8s, but I...

Thanks, Jim. I'll start with those suggestions...should keep me busy this summer.
Thank you, Rob. And I couldn't agree more with your first statement, as well as Wyatt's. Jim

Well, I had hoped for a quick and easy way to bang out those projects. So I naturally expected precisely the answer I received! Thanks Gary....
Does anyone know if old Atlas/Kato SD7 and GP35 motor, drive, etc. will fit into the new DCC-ready frames? I just thought of this, and it might...
Hi all, I recently moved to southern NH, and I'm looking for some tips. I know the ST runs up here, as well as the NHN. Other than Amtrak...
