UPDATE
Digitrax sound decoder and lights installed. 100 Ohm resistor between the orange and grey. I used decoder pro to set the speed table steps to 2 all the way across which keeps the resistor from heating up. Works great. Even added some marker lights.
Yea... I did the free trial and found a couple of interesting things on the website, BUT the NMRA videos remind me of presentations I did back in the 60’s! Overhead Projectors and Acetate sheets and slide projectors. Some guy with a hand held video cam taping the out of focus lecture.
I also...
Hi all,
I just purchased the DCC HO Bachmann 2 truck 50 ton climax with the Soundtraxx sound module. NICE little locomotive.
I want to change the straight stack to the Onion Stack. Anyone know where I can get one to fit this model?
I don’t have enough room on my layout and I only have 16 DCC locomotives
I have another 12 DC that I’m slowly converting to DCC. My ferry and sorting Yards are too small to keep all the rolling stock on the layout. I like the idea of shelves so I guess I’ll look into that.
Hi all,
I have a BLI Lightning and Thunder and I want to know if I can add additional LED Strips to the connections for the ones that come with the product?
anyone do this?
Can I take a motor out of an old DC locomotive and mount it in the tug then connect the decoder? If that works, it seems better than connecting and disconnecting the resistor.
There. Is another option if you have any BLI Locomotives. The will produce sound of the engine (steam or Diesel). You can add bell and horn with the BLI DC Master.

For some reason the link worked the second try. so it looks like I want a diesel decoder. From other forums they recommend a Fairbanks Morse or ALCO or EMD S1 sound.
