I loved my model trains when I was a kid back in the 70s,,, but that's when we had rectifiers and power packs now I'm getting back into the game and I see all this DCC technology and I think it's pretty damn awesome,,, I think it's pretty cool that you can control several locomotives on the same track at different directions and different speeds 

Thanks for the info guys

That was one tight turn

I rigged up a set of wheel contacts and put lights in one of my Union Pacific cabooses but its direct fed off the track can I get a DCC decoder and put it in the Caboose and control it from the controller?

It sure is a lot of engineering designing and building just to carry a load over rails,, I did like the load it was carrying though I am an electrician by trade

What's your opinion on Schnabel cars, me personally I think they look pretty stout bold and cool!   

I now have two more Bachmann dd40ax's number 6922 is coming in ,,something's going to work,,ooohh cher i garauntee!!

I will let y'all know of the progress thank y'all

 I went to eBay from that link that you gave me I ordered it now it's on its way we're going to see what's going to happen when I get it hopefully I can modify it into the dd40ax

                                                   Thanks Greg

I have Bachmann got what I need to repower it the trucks the motors and the drive shafts

Thanks I heard pancake motors have more power

I have an operating motor now,,just trying to find another so she can have dual motors again and haul some cars!!

Well if i cant find one Bachmann does have what i need to upgrade the motors and trucks at a very reasonable price!

You look like you have a pancake style motor I'm looking for one can you get an extra one I have a Bachmann dda40x Union Pacific it's an older model Hong Kong manufactured from like the early 80s

I'm looking for a Bachmann pancake style motor HO scale for a dda40x number 6922 Union Pacific locomotive
