I would consider a better decoder. A stripped down decoder will never give you great results. I would recommend a Lokpilot 4 micro. Dead easy...
Mike! Welcome back! David B
Dont get me started about the GS4. It had a worm issue, with a bind in the drive. I sent it to Kato for a fix. They charged me 60 dollars for...
....or you can go with the DZ135 and hard wire it in (dead easy with the P42). And at 15 bucks, light years ahead of the MRC. David B
I would use their thinner. I use it with great results. David B
Well, how did you change the volume CVs? Did you perform the indexing? If you dont know what I am talking about, then you need to read the...

Have you contacted Atlas? They should take care of you. David B
Actually, ME CD55 will allow you to run your pizza cutters. I think, visually, CD55 is better because of the Loco/Rail height ratio. The...
If you are new to the hobby, I have a few suggestions. 1. A metal-shelled loco doesnt mean it is a quality item.....in fact, it usually means...
If you can figure out how to post on these forums, then you can use JMRI. Common guys, it makes programming very simple. It sounds like to me...
