All; it turns out I had another booster 5 still in the box I had bought, so I guess I'll try and mod the booster 5's to slow them down, I know if you change R5 to 19.6K  it slows the trip time to 130ms, is this slow enough or is there a different mod I need to try and find somewhere?? I'm going run the EasyDCC setup until it gives me problems and then switch, I can't justify changing at the moment. Thanks for any answers you can give.. I tried wading through the EasyDCC forum, but it seems like anyone who knew anything about it has moved on.

I have an older Atlas SW-9 in mint condition.  It has a single can motor and runs like a watch, less than 1 smph both directions, competely silent.  What could be the problem?????  High stall AMPS over 2.5.  It would definitely smoke a Tsunami.  Josh at Tony's Trains says the QSI Revolution U can handle it..............I'm not so sure about that.

Anyway, I'm curious what others are doing to add sound to these big fukllk size O scale locomotives???

Thanks,

Peter

Working on my on an area of my layout that is in a hidden area with the workshop. In addition to the other "regular track" in the shop area, I wanted to add a spur for a programming track. My initial design calls for use of a turnout from the main to the P. track. For a number of reasons this connection (turnout) would be cumbersome and I am realy not happy with what I have come up with so far. Then it occured to me that I really don't need to connect the two. I mean, all of the track is hidden anyway.

With Lichfield Station comming to an end anyone hear anything about their website & DCC University and JMRI ?

I believe JMRI is more than just linchfield Station But not sure where it will go Anybody Know anything?
