I am rebuilding my layout and have  a good amount of code 70 ME track but I am not really thrilled with it just wondering what code most other On30 guys use?

I also used the 750 Tsunami it has the same features as the 1000,but a less amp load for the motor. It will run  the shay just fine. I did however had to extend the coal bunker up above the decoder.

I have several leftover oem decoders from my bachmann engines and i was wondering if it would a good or bad idea to use them in my caboose for lighting?

Hello I have read that MI code 70 and code 80 rail is the same width at the base of the rail is this true? I need some rail joiners but all i can get locally is code 83 and if the rail base is the same then the joiners should interchange.

I used the steps on the pacific coast liner website if you follow them step by step you will have no problems and a clean looking install.http://www.pacificcoastairlinerr.com/

Hello can anyone recommend coal size for the tender of on30 loco's

As for my favorite model railroad reference goes to the show Trailer Park Boys in season 7 Bubbles get into railroading and goes to a train show in Mane. If you can find this show WATCH IT. There is no funnier show that the US could ever put out. GO Canada.
By the way I live in IN,USA

Just to add in I used Harold's method for equiping my 2-6-0 with sound dcc from the website and it runs and sounds great, the wiring through the back of the weight down below the cab looks great.
thanks Harold for the website and great info

I believe the "OEM" sound decoders do not have F.F. and a lot of the the features the regular tsunami have. I have put TSU-1000's in all my loco's except I purchased the 4-6-0 with OEM sound and I must admit I wish I would have put a tsu-1000 in to get all the great features.

I had ordered a 0-gauge ballast sampler from Scenic Expess it contained 3 sizes and several different materials and colors. I decided on #20 mixed natural stone.

I had ran into the same problem on my forney to poter conversion I just removed to circut board and wired the tsu 1000 directly to the wire connector  under the firebox. I do not own a 4-4-0 but I would think it would be the same thing.
