    Need help picking a HO diesel locomotive

    If you are searching for B-units you won't find them in the rolling stock section. Look in the locomotive section. Many times they are sold as A+B as a set. Most B units are not powered to save money. The powered B units should be clearly marked as powered. I got a Broadway limited Union...

    Need help picking a HO diesel locomotive

    1. DCC is DCC but different brands have their own pros and cons. I have an NCE Power cab and am very happy with it. Many here are Digitrax proponents. No there is not DCC 2.0 to worry about. They all do the same things just different bells and whistles.....no pun intended lOL 2. & 3. Yes B...

    Mth loco's, dcs?

    I guess if you really "gotta have" an MTH loco you can buy their proprietary DCS system or live with it's DCC limitations or buy it DCC ready and stick a decoder under the hood. They are quite expensive even in DCC ready trim. -Art

    Mth loco's, dcs?

    Ok, I am not an expert in this area but I will try to help with the info I have. If you run an MTH loco on DCS you get all of the sound options including radio chatter. The MTH loco will run on DCC but you lose some of the sound options. It is my understanding that MTH loco's with DCS will...

    Sound was full of awful static even at idle and the light's weren't working correctly on my U50. Talked to Tony's and they felt it was a defective amplifier circuit so they told me to send it back. I have not heard of this being a common problem. -Art

    Little Secret

    I saw them last weekend at a train shop. The do look nice. I would have gotten and A+B unit if they had them in UP colors but that's not available at this time. I think they were about $90 each. Seems like a good deal with Tsunami inside plus the B units are powered and have sound as well...
