    Digitrax Zephyr Xtra + Tsunami Sound Decoder

    Not having any luck with these two Ace's :confused: Cycling hasnt helped. Edit: Still messing with it and getting know where. Flashes "busy" but does nothing. Looks like I may need to purge and buy the PTB-100 and save the head ache for something else. Atleast the Ace's are set to 2...

    roof top beacons

    You can see the perticular Beacon / Locomotive in this great video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysejYKx-eGk Is very convincing to me! Maybe it is an "orderable part".

    how did you pick a rail line

    Well, I dont have a real layout just yet but I have choosen to go with BNSF for frieght and Metrolink for local passanger. I've picked these simply because where I live (Corona, Ca), I see one of these be it freight from BNSF or passanger from Metrolink ever 20 minutes or so! And thats why I...

    Athearn SD70ACe review and comparison

    If you wouldnt mind, could you please post a picture of how you fixed it and maybe a simple explanation or how to for this. My Athearn ACe every now and then sounds as if the shell is vibrating making the sound very crackly. Wondering if maybe its just a baffle issue. To be honest, I was afraid...
