When I purchased mine, it came with RGS 2101 refer shell. I don't believe there is enough downward pressure to really scratch the track. I sand my track with 800 paper a few times a year but need

Abrasive cleaning is a magnet for future cleaning more often. The micro scratches, well ... I like to use a piece of cork road bed and polish the rail. But what of areas that can't be reached. The old

Dusty, All the research I've done on track cleaning related to abrasives is in the negative.  The argument is that every scratch and pit left by the abrasive is a site for "micro-arcing to occur,

I picked up one of these on Ebay. I'm somewhat hesitant to use abrasives on track or wheels unless it's 800 grit or finer. Does anyone have experiences to share concerning this device? I have

Hi AllJust a note to say the Pullmans are coming along well. There was a fair amount of trail blazing and fine tuning of ideas but I'd like to think it was worth it. Decal art is going out next week

Maybe I'll take the tender body off the chassis and see. I took a look at that N18 decoder and when you add the wire harness to it, it seems bigger than the TSU-1100

Yes

If memory serves me correctly, and I may be mixing my installs, the water jacket is even with bottom of floor. The decoder, keep alive and speaker do not all fit inside shell so some wires will be

Hey Fuzzy, I never knew there was a N18 decoder. On these Precision Scale C-16s did you have to make any mods to the tender body?

Precision C16s are terrible, having done a dozen or more as very little room and so much detail to avoid. The other builders are a little over sized tender shells. Also the water jacket in some

Thanks for the replies. I am not new to DCC installs I have done sound installs in the past. In my k-37 I installed decoder + speaker in tender and in the locomotive I did marker lights, headlight and

I do my own. DCC and sound requires fool-proof pickups, which will usually mean a set of wipers on the insulated wheels of a brass model. Space in the boiler is limited even after some weight removal,

There are still a few rogue installers out there, still trading and screwing up, either by poor installation work or communicatios or just generally screwing up the jon totally. So why not a register

It’s a beautiful model and shouldn’t need a new motor. If you’re able to chat over the phone I can give you more details on how I do my installs and what steps we take to get the work done. My
