General Discussion / Re: U36B decoder
January 23, 2012, 12:05:56 PM
Rich:

I have an NCE Z14SR decoder. To clear the shell I would have to remove almost all of the metal above the motor. Could possibly mount it under the front light location. However, to install LED lights both ends of the frame would also have to enlarged to accept the LEDs. So unless someone out there has tried this & has a better suggestion this engine will remain part of the small DC controlled portable layout. That way it will have a mixed liverly of C&O, Seaboard & BN engines. After all it's my railroad & I can  run it to suit myself!!

General Discussion / U36B decoder
January 21, 2012, 05:15:34 PM
Recently acquired a Bachmann U36B, model# 64053. Had hoped to covert it to DCC, but was surprised when I removed the shell. By the time I removed enough material from the frame to install even a Z scale decoder & leds, there wouldn't be much left of the frame. If anyone out there has done this I would greatly appreciated an email & possibility a illustration or two of same installation.

HO / DCC equipped GP30's
October 23, 2009, 08:33:37 PM
I have 4 of these locos. Three of the 4 run just great. However the 4th one runs very slowly using the same settings as on the other three. Engine runs good, but very slow compared to the other three. Any suggestions?

HO / restoring factory cv defaults
May 09, 2008, 10:16:27 AM
I have a DCC equipped GP30 (60811). Was running fine on club layout & then just quit running! Tried re-programing with no luck. Won't move & no lights. Using a DC power pack it will run forward, but not reverse!! Would like to try resetting the CV's to factory default but am unsure of the correct procedure. Does anyone have any suggestions before I ship it back to customer service?
