    Advanced Consisting and JMRI

    Ok. I get it now. Thanks for the help. Another question. Is there a way to set up the consist in a way where the lead loco "changes" depending on what direction the consist is going? For example, let's say our lead engine is #1234 and our other engine in the consist is #5678. They would be...

    Advanced Consisting and JMRI

    Really? I guess I will have to try it out on JMRI with a different set of locos with ESU decoders

    Advanced Consisting and JMRI

    Thank you for the suggestion, but I think I figured it out. Apparently, with ESU decoders, you need to use the LokProgrammer to build consists. That would explain why nothing was working as it should. I just need to make some tweaks and it will be fine. Again, thank you

    Advanced Consisting and JMRI

    Hello! Is there anyone here with moderate experience with JMRI? I am trying to create some consists using Decoder Pro. I have tried to create an advanced consist using my DCC system (NCE) but it didn't work as I had expected. Basically, only the lead unit responded to any commands. It also...

    Passenger car lighting kits

    Will these work with Athearn? I imagine they will, but I don't want to shell out money only to find out they won't work.

    Bachmann HO 3 Truck Shay Bevel gears again

    Sorry to ask in this thread, but does anyone know who can change the gears to the NWSL metal gears as a service? I have the metal gears already. I'm just afraid of screwing it up and breaking something.

    Running Consists With Foreign Power

    It's your layout. Run whatever you want. If you want to have an 0-6-0 MU'd with a mix of GE, EMD, and ALCO 6-Axle diesels of various road names while doing a caboose hop, more power to you.

    Passenger car lighting kits

    I have a question about lighting kits for passenger cars. I have 4 Athearn Bev-Bel 6 axle passenger cars that I would like to install lighting in. I would like to find a lighting kit that is very simple to install. What would be the best choice for my needs? I have metal wheels already to go.

    Making mountains

    Thank you for the advice. I went with the cardboard strip method because I have a overabundance of cardboard that I didn't want to just throw out.

    Making mountains

    I'm currently making my mountain on my layout using the cardboard strip method and covering them with plaster infused gauze. My question is, do I need to cover the plaster cloth with plaster in order to paint and fill my mountain with scenery or can I paint over the cloth

    Proto 2000 steam locomotive repair

    It's a shame because, to me, it's a nice looking engine that would be perfect for what I need, if it weren't for this problem. I would like to keep it if it can be repaired. However, it looks like I may just have to take it back
