    Adding Tsunami to Bachmann GS4

    I have an older Bachmann GS4 SP daylight. The motor is shot so Bachmann said to return it for a replacement. The newer model has DCC on board. I would like to add a Tsunami 826103 which is what Soundtraxx recommends for this model. My question: Is the Tsunami 826103 plug and play? I am...

    Digitrax SDH164D with installed sound projects

    That's the best part Cjcrescent, no charge for the programing. You just pick the sound project from the choices on their web page and it comes to your house with the custom sounds that you request. I just got my 2 controllers yesterday. They labeled them for me so I could put the correct...

    Digitrax SDH164D with installed sound projects

    No, Cjcrescent, what I was trying to say is that Ulrich Models has the programer. They will preload the decoder with the sound project that the buyer selects from the list at the time of purchase. This saves me the money of not buying the programer from Digitrax. I have not seen this from any...

    Steel bridge

    I had so much success with my first bridge I decided to make another one. Here is the first stages. I took a flat board to hold the sides in alignment. Then I held the upper supports over a tea pot to steam the wood so I could bend it. I secured it to my board with brad nails so it would...

    Digitrax SDH164D with installed sound projects

    Digitrax SDH164D with installed sound projects I found this site today while looking for a Digitrax SDH164D. They offer installation of custom sound projects in the decoder. They are a few dollars more than modeltrainstuff.com but having custom sounds is a great option for the buyer. Here is...

    Photo retouching?

    My .02....it's your railroad do whatever you like. Since you are taking pictures of your railroad then if you want to alter them in any way go for it. Who cares what others think.....I don't. If you think that it's cheating then you need to realize that every picture in every modern magazine...

    Best Clamping methods

    I have one of these "helping hands" I got at radio-shack. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3928375 It has a holder for your solder iron, sponge to clean the solder tip, magnifier lens and alligator clips to hold your work. It's cheaply made but functions well. -Art

    Soundtraxx TSU-AT1000 lightning and capacitor question

    I had a similar issue with my Bachmann Plus GS4 4-8-4 SP Daylight. I installed a Digitrax HO SDH164D for DCC and sound. I completed the install and my headlight came on in reverse. I had inadvertently reversed the polarity of the motor during the install. I took it apart again changed the...
