    P2K GP38-2 Is NOT DCC Ready!!

    My Proto 2000 S1 said it was DCC ready...NOT!!! I blew a TCS decoder. After finding the fix on line all is well now. The only good thing is that Train Control System gave me a new decoder under warranty. Great service. It is just an expensive lesson to learn on what models are really DCC ready...

    Help with Soundtraxx DSD-At100 sound

    The power supply is the one that came with the Power Cab. I use a Smart Booster 3 on the rest of the layout but use the power cab power supply for my program/test track.

    Help with Soundtraxx DSD-At100 sound

    Athrean RS3 sound

    I have a TSC that fits after removing the jumper plug. Did you place the Soundtraxx on top of the adapter board? Wher did you put the speaker? Also how do you lock the decoder? I have a NCE PowerCab set-up. I was looking at it and if I remove the adapter board I could replace whole thing with...

    Athrean RS3 sound

    I pulled the shell off to take a look. The only room a saw is if I cut open the cab and try to fit a small speaker there. Don't know how well it will sound though.

    Athrean RS3 sound

    small layout help

    My eyesight isn't what it use to be. I do like the HO for the detail. Also I want to try to add sound to some of my engines. Those N scale are kind of "cute"
