I had to use a very small screwdriver to remove the shell, spread  one end of shell by the truck frames and then use small screwdriver to lift the chassis up. it will come out its just tight.  joe

 i purchased a new engine when these came out a few years ago, item #62251,and other than test run it has set on the self. I am getting back into the hobby from a long rest and bought a sound board this past week from you on invoice# P123526. It arrived and i opened the box and there is absolutely no paperwork with it as far as wiring diagrams on how to install it. How about it, any help here as to where i can find it? I have been to the Soundtrax web site and they dont even list it.  Any help would be appreciated at this time.
 Thanks in advance

Thanks for the info ,found the diag back in 07 posting. thanks again  Joe

 Just bought a SD45 spectrum DCC ready,( n scale) opened it up to install a chip and i have no idea of what hole in pc board is what.( #1-#8) Where can i find the info ,not with loco and have`t found it on the board.  Thanks Joe

Sure sounds like it would CORRECT any problems you have now or in the future! joe

Went back and pulled out the decoders from the engines and units are running ok now. Will call digitrax tomorrow. Damn i`m getting tired of this with drop in decoders will go back to hard wired and solder.  joe

 I am using a Digitrax Super Chief system, tracks are clean as all other engines run ok for as long as you want. These engines will do this even if they are not coupled together. If you uncouple them and let them run they stay pretty close together, forgot to say all lights stay on when they stop, so i don`t think speed matching is the problem but i could be wrong that is why i am asking here.  Thanks   Joe

 I know this is the Bachmann board but cant find the answer anywhere else. Does anyone know of a problem with Kato f3s when using a Digitrax dn163kob decorder that will cause them to stop running after 5 or 10 min? I have a ABA set for the CA Zepher that runs fine then any one of the engines just stops running, ture it off for 10 or 15 mins and they will run again until the next one drops out. Any help appreacated. Thanks

 Does any one know if the old style turnout control switch ( #7563 ) is still avabile(sp)? This is before EZ Track. Am looking for 35 of them. Thank you in advance.   Joe

 Jim thank you for the info. Ithink i will put in a dz123 as i have had good luck with them.  Thanks   Joe

Taz-of-boyds, sorry i meant to say operating on address of 00 on the main track but still uncontrolable.

Jim Banner,i was talking about the main rails on the main tracks but if the decoder is bad why would it operate at address of #3 on the test track which is controled by the Zepher which is totally seperate from the main layout when all other engines run correctly on it?This doesn`t make any sense!  Thanks again to you both.  Joe

 Hello all of you brains, i have a question for you. I am installing new decorders in 2 new N scale ER Sharks using oem circuit boards, here is the problem on the test track the engine will operate correctly using address #3(default) but put engine on the main tracks and it will not operate at all on DCC but will operate on dc if you short rails together but can not control it as it runs full speed,put back on test track and it works fine. All other engines operate correctly on all adresses including #3. Test track is running a Digatrak Zepher and the main tracks are running a Digatrak DCS150 with a DT400. The decorders are MRC AD330 purchaced new. Any help would be apprecated.  Joe

 Yes but be careful it doesn`t like over 12 volts, will blow the speaker.  Joe

Thank you both very much.   Joe

 Was the Ca Zefpher ever pulled by steam or was it always diesel powered? If steam was used what type was used?
   Thanks in advance   Joe
