Thaks for all the replies! I doubt I would buy any more Bachman engines, but I have a few now, so now I know better. That said, at least I can get them upgraded without too much hassle. I do prefer my BLI engines... oh yeah... :cool:

Hello, I have a couple of the budget Bachman RS3 units that are DCC only. Any good / better / best way to add sound to the stock DCC in these things? I have not openend them up yet to see what they have inside...

My new BLI Hudson was kind of weird, but as I looked into it, I found I had not quite seated the wire plug from the tender into the engine... :eek: Worked great after using a small flat screwdriver to seat the plug... :cool: But that's just a newbie error for guys like me, aint it?

I thought I would start a thread about the Cooperville and Marne Railway. I will post pics and video... Video is from in-cab...

Thanks RCShadow! I really did love the look of the old FZ series. I had an FZ750 waaay back in the day. I have some video from the Coopersville and Marne scenic railway... I rode in the cab of an old SW9(?). Track speed was limited to TEN mph. It was a long way to Marne from Coopersville at that...

Small and slow? Well, that's ok; it is just a switcher after all... ;) My layout won't be that big and if I want faster, I'll just pull out the BLI F7 or Hudson... And if that doesn't work, my CBR600F2 takes care of my need for speed...:eek:

I saw this deal Sunday... BLI SW7 PRR for $129.99 .... :eek: Oh yeah... Modeltrainstuff only had ONE in stock and now they have none! :D Should be here about Thursday.

Looks like you had a lot of fun getting some good deals! I am looking forward to this weekend in Grand Rapids, MI for a local train show...

How about a C-Liner and Hudson??? From Dave's Photo Pages... http://www.davesphotopages.com/Doug0017.jpg

I had some old DC stuff way back somewhere in my early youth. I love computers and this digital age in which we live; no way I would run DC! I am starting the Mackinac Division on the right track... I am sure I will have questions as things progress... :)

New from BLI on the Mackinac Division engine roster... A J1E Hudson... great deal at my favorite online store, modeltrainstuff.com An F7A BLI Blueline engine, new in box, found waiting for me on Ebay... :) Put in a Digitrax DZ143PS and it ran flawlessly... :cool: The Ebay tip came...

That is just amazing! Very motivational too... :)

The MRC Prodigy Advanced 2. After much reading and consideration, including many posts on this forum, I made my choice and paid my money... Got a really great price from modeltrainstuff.com. The PA2 has enough power for what will be a modest layout and seems easy to figure out. I have been able...

Those cars are masterfully weathered... Excellent work!

The trusses are very nice. Great work!

Talk about blowing smoke... Well, most interesting discussion... After reading this, along with some other forums, I found this... MTH v BLI Memorandum and Order. You will never read more about speed commands and smoke puffing anywhere! "from the day the complaint was filed this case has...
