    Athearn HO 90616 DCC Adapter Board

    Everything Mark said, and put a strip of electrical tape on the frame, under the motor...... Just a little extra insurance against accidental contact with the frame! :) Carmine, modeling the HO Scale Pacific Belt RR since 1975!

    good cheap dcc starter unit

    Congrats! That's a great, expandable system! That's what I started with, and when I moved up to the 5 amp Power Pro system, my original Power Cab handheld moved right over as an extra throttle I didn't have to buy! Feel free to ask questions as you get used to it! :-) Carmine, modeling the HO...

    Athearn's Latest Price Increases: Im out...

    When I started, I bought BB diesels for $16.95. Funny thing was, if I couldn't afford it at the time, if I went back 6 months later - AND it was STILL $16.95!!!!!! I never thought I'd ever become an old fogey, but God, I miss those days!!! --- I am here...

    I started in HO, and ended up back to HO scale, after brief affairs in everything but S, TT and Z! HO, IMHO, is not too big and not too small. Availability has always been the best too (even in these crazy limited-run, overpriced era were in now!) --- I am here...
