    N Scale MDC/Roundhouse 2-8-0

    I just got a nifty MDC/Roundhouse 2-8-0 Consolidation, and was pleasantly surprised at how well it ran slow and fast around my test oval. After a few laps in each direction I decided to work on replacing the Rapido couplers with the included. The rear one was easy to exchange, but I'm not sure...

    Any Successful MRC 1636 Installs Out There

    Well, I wanted sound. I got a Prodigy Express on eBay. I got an Atlas U25B and successfully sent off a frame to Aztec, and almost by teleportation got the exchanged milled frame right back. I was thrilled, the speaker fit the milling perfectly. I slid the decoder in. I ran the speaker wires...

    New to DCC and Befuddled

    So I grabbed a Prodigy Express a few weeks ago on eBay, and today my Atlas U25B came in the mail. I tested it out on a piece of flex track w/ye old DC transformer and she crawls beautifully. So, I figure I'll give setting up the Prodigy Express to the track a whirl, and see how it goes. As...

    SP 6304 Parked in Moscow, ID

    As a kid I always loved SP for some reason, and the first N scale locos I ever bought were a blood nose and a daylight diesel. The other day I was surprised to see a Black Widow F7A parked along the road in Moscow, ID. I was kicking myself to not have my camera. Well, it's still there today...
