I wasn't sure where to put this but if any of you know what the game "Chris Sawyers Locomotion" is and have used the downloadable trains do any of you know how to instal the .rar files for the trains?

Sorry for no updates. I am using the DH123 so Jim, you put the DH125 while I am almost positve that I put the type somewhere but sorry if I didn't. I put the one good decoader in my Thomas and it works fine. I don't know why the first one burnt up. I cut the plastic off of it and a tiny rectangular piece was burnt up. That is all that was wrong but I don't know how to fix it.

I have both a Shay and the new 3 truck climax and both run fine- here is a vid link to my Climax:

That is Genious! You might do some with DCC like Kline has TMCC.

On30 / Re: Fitting decoder to DCC-Ready Shay Loco

You will need a decoder with an 8 pin plug.  I am going to assume that the size will probably be around the size of the small Bachmann Decoder.

Aren't Blackstone only Hon3 or do they also sell On30? B/C if your club uses On30, I would suggest not geting it if it is Hon3.

HO / Re: 2-10-2 performance question

I'm sorry to tell you but I doubt that will stop happening. The reason I think this is because I've had one for a while and it has done that for as long as I have had it. I think you should just get used to it. I think the sound ads a little bit of chugging.

HO / Re: DC/DCC Controllers
March 28, 2011, 04:35:31 PM
IF you have a large fleet of DC locos, I would not suggest any type of DCC controller unless you are going to put DCC in them. It does not matter what brand DCC controller, Digitrax (Zephyr) or Bachmann (E-Z command), you always have the chance of all DC locomotives to overheat on DCC. As a matter of fact, running a DC loco on DCC gives a chance of damaging the motor in it because DCC controlers put AC current to the track instead of DC.  If you could tell us how many DC locos you have and how many DCC locos you have then maybe we could make a better Suggestion.

They are not missing- Go to the On30 section and go the DCC equipped and there they are.

The GS-6s were called war Babies but I could see how someone could get the black GS-4 mixed up with the GS-6 because the GS-6s only had the black paint scheme and some of the GS-4s had a black paint scheme. Honestly those versions look almost exactly the same but the GS-6 was smaller but one major difference is the single headlight on the GS-6 and the Headlight and Marslight both on the GS-4s.

If you got an MRC Blackbox comtroler, you can us the function keys to operate the sound functions.

I didn't get the train from another person, I got it brand new for Christmas a few years ago. Also, Sly knows that he can keep the motor.
