Hi! :) I converted the beautiful Xo2 railcar from DELTA to FX digital (Motorola) adding a few more features at the same time. I made a video of the process (how-to). Enjoy! :)

I have read all the old forum posts on the Walthers 90 ft turntable but little was mentioned  about electrical pickup issues. I purchased  the 90 ft manual turntable and associated DC motor this Spring (2016). I recently assembled it and have no complaints about the turntable and it's assembly and operation. Motor is a little noisy but the TT runs very smoothly with 3 -1.5 volt batteries and a double pole center-off momentary switch. The problem I am having is keeping track power consistently on the brass bushings with the sheet brass arms in the kit.

I'm curious as to what books/reference guides/etc. folks would recommend as a way of easing one's self into working with the various Arduino products.  I know there's an Arduino for Dummies book (I'm still looking for a Dummies for Dummies version...) but there may be better guides for helping the novice understand what he/she is getting into working with these little gems.  I'm not worried about learning to program them but the electrical side is still somewhat of a black hole to me.

Hi guys,

I'm about ready to try out a couple of the LokSound Select Direct replacement decoders in our newly purchased Athearn RDG GP39-2's

I've chosen these over the TCS WOW Sound decoders as LokSound has the specific sound files for a GP39-2 that can be loaded, and they have the same new features as the WOW Sound with manual notching.  In fact LokSound have all of the locomotive sound files for our entire roster too.
