I've got a P2K Heritage 0-6-0 steamer that has a factory installed QSI sound decoder and an upgrade chip installed. While I love running this little critter it has a tendency to stall over turnout frogs and crossings. Now that TCS has two different styles of Stay Alive's I'm tempted to screw up...

I've got an older P2K GP20 that I'd like to put sound in and on this particular application I'm going to have to pull both the front/rear light bars out and modify them. I'm wondering if anybody out there has had any experience removing these from one of these critters? I'd rather not break...

Greetings to all, I'm new to this forum although I've been modeling for the last twenty years or so. I'm wondering if anybody has had any experience in trying to install a sound decoder in one of the old non-Proto 2000 Walthers Fairbanks Morse H10-44 locomotives they brought out back in the...
