What do you have for a printer?

You hook it up to a computer with JMRI, then to a programing track, and use it to program decoders. If you have a Digitrax system, it can be used as an interface between a computer, and the Digitrax command station. A PR4 is quite a bit better.

My personal go to, is to install a Decoder Buddy, (nixtrainz.com) and a Loksound decoder, although any 21 pin decoder will work.

The ADM sunflower plant west of Goodland KS, had a Plymouth switcher, I'll have to see if I can find a picture.

Your comment on the leaning Tower of Pisa; I now understand what is meant by needing to level the helix. Thank you. :)

I have used WiThrottle with the LNWI, but can not tell you if it would work with ECoS and the L.net converter. I wish I new where my ESu Cab Control was, I would try it out. If you had a wireless router attached to your ECoS, wouldn't that allow for the use of WiThrottle? I know you can use the...

If I understand this correctly, the risers provided by tracksidescenery, are all the same height. What gets the rise, is the blocks of wood put underneath each riser on the first run, which I would need to figure out, is that correct?

Personally, I don't see what the big deal is about the Z21 app, doesn't appear to do and anything WiThrottle can't do, and it works with just about every system.

Here is an article about Preferred Sands of Genoa, just outside of Genoa NE. Cow Catcher magazine did an article about this and the Nebraska Central as well, but right now I can't seem to find the article...

I do wish Digitrax would add a Rail Com module for their system.

I've had a Digitrax system for about 20 years, a few years ago, I decided to buy an ESu Command Control system. Two things I didn't like, making it a deal breaker for me. I found the throttle to be very forward heavy, always felt like it was going to fall out of my hand. The other was, I can...

Get one of these, you will be amazed how much better the file will work...

They are filled through the side doors.

A few years ago, I purchased a couple of BLI locomotves from a dealer on the eastern seaboard. I received the engines on a Saturday, but it wasn't until Sunday I had a chance to try them. As soon as I powered them up, they started generating smoke out of the exhaust. I sent a message through...

The TAMKO plant in Phillipsburg KS, still gets sawdust in via boxcar, they vacuum it out.

Difference is the drive trains, real locomotives have bull gears between the electric motor, and the axle, allowing a motor to be worked or pushed, depending on its gearing, can't do this with the worm gear drives found in our models.

That's just it, your not applying the same setting to all, you're applying different speed table settings to get the same results, i.e. at speed step 1, 1 scale MPH, at speed step 11, 12 scale MPH. Speed step 24, 44 scale MPH.

I use 28 speed steps, with a top speed scale of 56 MPH. I set up each locomotive, so speed step one is 1 scale MPH, speed step 2 is 2 scale MPH, I do this up to speed step 10. Speed steps 11 through 19, increase by 2 scale MPH, and speed steps 20 through 28, increase by 3 scale MPH. This way...

It would be impossible to know all of the rules from memory, which is why you have to have a copy of the GCOR with you at all times. Although, I always found it amusing that you have to carry the GCOR with you, because it would be impossible to remember all of the rules, but you can't use it for...

Coils like that are pretty much used to make anything that requires round bar stock; from ball bearings to shafts.
