    ECos 50200 not reading WoW decoder

    Hi, I recently set up an ECos 50200 and it won't recognize a WOW decoder I installed. I know the locomotive works, it operated on a different layout, and it appears that there is power on my layout as the resting sounds and lights are currently working. Any idea what I should do? Thanks! Matt

    Pullman Heavyweight Detailing

    Wonderful! If I was to use floquil primer, I can bake that as well as the enamel?

    Do you suggest a primer before the Scalecoat? If so, which works best? Thanks!

    Pullman Heavyweight Detailing

    Some Classic Trains ordered from amazon! More Classic Trains will have to be found on eBay I suspect. I'm not certain what line I want to model just yet, though I was thinking of modeling a line that would pass close or connect to a National Park or such, was thinking Southern Pacific or Great...

    Converting from Marklin to DCC

    Thanks for the link! I understand that Marklin is geared towards its own brand, but I was more interested in converting a Marklin set that I already have into something I can use on DCC. Surely this would be possible? And would it be as simple as swapping out the wheels? and removing the third...

    Converting from Marklin to DCC

    Hi all, I'm relatively new and had a question regarding compatibility of AC and DCC. I have a Marklin Rheingold set (4228) and I was wondering if it would be relatively easy to convert that for DCC operation? If so, what would that entail? and what would I need? I'm at the point where I have...
