Thanks for the response David; Duh, I can't believe I typed in the wrong subject name! My locos did come decoder installed. I can't believe how three...
Would like to know what decoder(s) should be used with either of these loco's... they used the same chassis. Prefer Digitrax if possible. TIA, Roger...
I used a Digitrax DZ-143 in mine. If these are the older ones that are not DCC-Ready with a plug-in decoder, it's a fairly straight forward job and can be...
Roger, I have used the Digitrax DZ123, but that only has 2 functions. The Digitrax DZ143 has more functions if you want a beacon or strobe. The frame will need...
Thanks for the info on the DZ123/143 .. sounds perfect for my needs. I should have remembered about Aztec .. I have a set of Life Like FA/FB2's (ABBA) he...
Southern digital have replacement frame kit for Digitrax DZ123. They are cast new not milled out and are heavier than the original Kato frames see their web...

Scott, What I have used is surface mount LEDs. Richmond Controls has them. If you take a #40 drill bit and turn it a few times from the inside of the shell...
Another Perry with a question. What is canopy glue? I have not seen that before. Perry Skip Barber <skip_8933@...> wrote: Scott, What I have used is...
Having lain some track in some intricate switching areas, and starting to connect my drops to buss, I am finding a lot more shorts than I ever thought...
Perry, Canopy glue is used by model airplane folks to glue on canopys. It dries flexible and holds real well. It was suggested to me for this purpose by Jim...
Bill, Just a suggestion, but I routinely isolate the frog rails about 1 - 1 1/2" from the frog. Then I power the frog from the tortoise switch motors. No...
Just for reliability, I would stay away from old Altlas switches. (They are wired like insulfrogs, BTW). As a general rule, it is wise to gap the frog rails on...
In case this did not post before. You can get the boxes for free fronm the post office. All you have to do is pay the postage by weight. You fill out a ...

Hi Scott, I've done one a little while back. I've cut and dumped about 5-6mm from both light "pipes" making sure to glue a narrow bit of styrene to bridge the...
Just thought I'd post a note to say that I have successfully converted my Bachmann Farish Deltic to DCC, with a little bit extra. I've actually fitted a Lenz...
What do you do when four digits just isn't enough in addressing? My issue is this, and I'm figuring some of you have run into similar situations -- I've got a...

I realize that this won't help you but there are DCC systems available, like ZIMO, that lets you use address names instead of just numbers. The names may all...
You could drop the first digit of the road number, and use 1,2,3 in place of A,B,C... thus you have 9621, 9622, 9623. A compromise, but easy to remember, and...
... Just what I did with my F3 A-B-A sets and a pair of PA1s. After speed matching, they run well under the same number. I use the lower of the two end...
