Means very thin ACC. Probably the regular stuff.....not jell

My Heisler didn't have the original box. It has a name plate on the frame saying Made in Japan. I'm guessing it's the early model.

Thanks Climax That does sound easy. Jim

Thanks John. I'll give it a try. Not sure what water weight Means for acc. Is it acc activated by water? Thanks again, Jim

S0586 sound file from a narrow gauge K27 2-8-2. ESU decoders come blank, you will need a supplier with the ability to burn the decoder. The decoder is a V5, a micro version is the smallest. ESU now

I should probably also add that I’m looking for a specific mode number or name. Thanks for the advice so far.

Hello again I’m trying the sleeving. I haven’t been able to get a real tight fit with the 1/8 sleeve. Don’t know if I should add some silicone or squeeze the sleeve together a bit. I would think

Don, One more thought. Do you have a photo editing program? Try scanning black lettering, then use the “Negative” option. The background should be black and the letters would be white.
