I'm pleased to announce that Newport, Rhode Island will host the first International On30 Convention in 2012. This convention will take place from March 28 to April 1 so mark your calendars. Details to follow.

Chairman, International On30 Convention

In addtion to the previous re-wiring of the truck, tonight I added phosphor bronze pickups to the top of the truck (attached to the small screws) and this seems to have greatly improved the running of my forney. Seems the lack of electrical pickup from the rear truck can make things erratic. Guess it makes sense since the 2-4-0 conversions with tenders seem to work great for everybody.

Thanks for the steer! I'll try removing the boards and hard wiring.

Cheers!

I have experienced the exact same DCC running (or stutter/stop) condition with my two factory sound equipped forney's. I have tried many of the suggested recommendations and nothing has worked. My gut tells me it's with the decoder itself.
