Refresh my memory ... where do the exciters get the loco sounds from?
Da..., the decoder, right? |

Sorry Bill, yeah, the ones Larry used and that Ron posted are the ones I had saved.
Check with Larry for more info - he's done a bit with them.

OK...I need helo, and am not ashamet to ask! LOL!Has something to do with Verne 9er's favorite quote......
Here's a picture of what I did tonight -
Tore outabout 8 feet track & 3 turnouts - reinstalled thetrack & only 2 turnouts, leaving options for later.
You can see the reverse loop, noted by:
The yellow drill
The container of titebond glue
The Optivisor
My question is "Where do I gap the rails to make the reverse loop work?"
Feel free top download the picture and make marks if you like.
Thanks in advance for any help....

Bill,
Sorry I have not kept up. The exciters will not cause derailments.
I will check in and help tomorrow. Just finished playing hockey and too tired to think straight. |

Geezer, love the little Porter, who makes that kit? As far as the gaps for the reversing loop, I would double gap at the Titebond bottle and at the Optovisor. That section will become the reversing section.

| Nice little loco !! Dave's is a possibility, or gap between the turnouts in the upper loop. Between the yellow driver and the green box. Depends a bit on the longest train you gonna run... |

Geezer, congrats on your new loco.
Wish I could help with your question, but the whole layout would probably short out and melt if I attempted an answer.  |

lol Rick, that's 'zactly why I am looking for outside help.
No sweat Brudda - I know youhave been under the gun gor a while now.
Dave - I was thinking that route too, just double gap the center rails
as I am only running short trains anyway. I have a AR, so that
part would be easy.
Marty - thanks mate, your suggestions and comments are always welcome.
THe whole deal is: I wish to have the loop to reverse trains, but not
affect anything inside the loop. We will get there.
Dave - The brass is from Backwoods Miniatures, the donor locomotive
is a Bachmann 2-6-0 and the decoder is a tsunami 750, light steam I think
It is a kit not for the faint of heart, that's why I had Les put it together
for me. He's the best!! Another reason is that I lost vision in my right
eye, and have no depth perception. I felt very confident in trusting Les
with the project. It runs and sounds terrific!!!! I godda go get some coffee.... |
