    Closing down my site

    Lost interest, spending a lot of time on emails giving advice, huge time sink, fewer people going there now then before. Also I was thinking of revamping the whole thing but under my own domain name. This is not the first website I have had the last ten years and probably won't be the last...

So if there is anything you want to keep [especially the links] then go get them now and save them for your self. The only thing I ask is that if you use my articles or...

    What Is The Connection?

    Like a rat from a sinking ship

    No idea why it is that a person can't be a member of more then one forum. In the computer area I was once a member of about 25 or so forums. Anyhow that is my opinion for what it is worth :)

    Advise?

    My advice would be to go to the many websites online such as mine that have On30 information and just pop around and look at what is out there. Especially go to the links section of my website and you will find tons of pictures and information from guys that have been doing this for a lot longer...

    Wow, very cool start there. If I had smaller fingers and more patience I might have stuck with Ho narrow gauge. Instead I went to On30. I admire your courage LOL :D Good start :)

    Changing decoder address help needed

    The decoder is one of the latest ones out diburning. It is the micro tsunami 750. Anyhow the guy at digitrax said it won't work without a power booster from soundtrax. I am just ticked because it is a known problem and soundtrax says NOTHING about it before you buy their decoder. Typical scvum...

    Changing decoder address help needed

    I finally figured out how to instal the decoder on my own BUT now I can not change the address from the default 03. I emailed digitrax and they said [and I quote]: "You cannot change the address of a Tsunami with the DCS100/200 without Soundtraxx's Program booster". So I am screwed here. And...
