DCC - Electrical
...So, I needed a Loco Cradle in a hurry...
Sooo, I needed a stable Loco Cradle in a hurry...
(I do hate when inspriation to Get-a-Job-Done strikes, but you can't lay hands on that tool you really need right this moment...
...fantastic way to waste valuable/rare time and effort, searching for the tool you need just to get-started...)
- couple of pieces of Foamcore, and an offcut of corner-packing foam
(a piece of lint-free offcut material, say the front of a discarded cotton T-shirt, could also work in a pinch)

Speed matching
Is there an easier way to speed match? What have is two different decoders and trying to match them up in a consist. I’m using an older super chief with a dsc 100
Bachmann 4-6-0 Running Slowly
Hi all!
I recently purchased a used Bachmann spectrum 4-6-0 that came with a factory tsunami sound decoder. It runs, but very slowly even at full throttle on my DCC system. I've tried resetting the decoder and that did not fix anything.
Does anyone have any input? I am really hoping that I did not buy a lemon.
1992 Walthers SW1 motor info
Hi all,
I have a friend that wants me to install a sound decoder in a 1992 Walthers SW1.
I am trying to find out if anybody has done this?
My real concern is finding out if the motor is wired similar to the old Athearn blue box locomotives that have it so you need to isolate the motor like Athearn.
Thanks,
Barry
Sound for Union Pacific M-10000
I know that Con-cor sells a Digitrax sound decoder for the HO scale M-10000. Are there any other decoders and/or sound files available for the Winton 191A motor?
What does the Con-cor decoder sound like? Is there anything better?
Atlas Signal System and JMRI
I have the layout wired into blocks with BD20's and the tortoise switch machines wired into the DCC bus, so the next phase will be adding signals.
There are a number of options out there but the Atlas Interlock and signal control boards seem to be the most readily available ones. Ideally I am envisioning all the signals to display red until the dispatcher lines up a train. Is it possible to use the Atlas signal control boards with JMRI?
