Set up a programming track that is not attached to your layout. Don't program decoders on your layout mainline.

Welcome to the forum Ron.:cool: Glad to have you aboard.

have fun building your N scale layout majordad. My layout, the "new" JJJ&E is a inverted "U' Shaped around the room layout in a train room 12x21' feet. An 18 foot yard and turntable (Walthers 130' turntable) with a 24 stall Roundhouse occupies one side of the layout. The turntable and Roundhouse...

Majordad: Before I retired to Florida in 1994 and Texas in 2009, I lived in Boston since 1960. I had season tickets to Celtic games for over 30 years. I watched Larry Bird play in most of the Celtic home games with his debut as a Celtic in 1984.

A Bachmann Spectrum 2-8-0 or a Bachmann 4-6-0 will perform well using 9 3/4 inch radii

MT #1015 is the coupler to use for that diesel.:cool:

Besides not being a reliable decoder, this decoder requires some frame modifications in order to properly seat it in Kato F series diesels. A pure drop-in is a "misnomer".

Don't worry about it Flyin Okie. I've researched the SP "Daylight" locomotives and cars for years. There is a nice piece about the SP "Daylight" series of locomotives and passenger cars on my website below...

Super elevating curves and banking curves are the same connotation. All figure eight curves on highways are "banked".:cool:

I've used this technique on the "new" JJJ&E.

Its a great locomotive. Have fun with it.

The Atlas Shay is beautiful to watch as you watch the gears move on the engineers side of the locomotive. The maximum speed should be no greater than 8-9 MPH and should handle eight inch radii. The DCC installation is difficult. A TCS Z2 decoder is your best choice. The Z2 wasn't available in...

I have seven first run Atlas Two Truck Shays released in 2005. I installed Lenz 521W decoders in the seven Shays. Its the smallest decoder that was available at that time. Below is a closeup photo of one of the Shay's on the roster of the "new" JJJ&E.

Brad: You could either push or pull the CMX+ track cleaning car.:cool:

I use a Tonys CMX+ track cleaning car. Its made of brass (8 ounces) and you need two large diesels to pull it around the layout. It does a fabulous job of keep track clean .
