  not sure if you still monitor this but is the motor still conected to the wheels or did you disconect it and just run the lights and sounds with a decoder? Also what materials do you use to make your overhead catenary, I am curently modeling a section of the keystone coridor so the prr catenary is a key element.

• 
  @lipsnortheasttrains91286 ай бұрын

  That’s correct, I disconnected the motor from the drive shaft so it rolls freely. I used the decoder that was already installed but you can add whatever you want. The catenary is from a British brand but is incorrect for the north east corridor. If you want to model accurate Pennsy catenary then check out modelmemories.com

  Beautiful little engine! I’m getting ready to paint a handful of brass models with tru-color. What primer and paint thinner did you use?

• 
  @lipsnortheasttrains91287 ай бұрын

  Thanks! Be sure to disassemble your model for cleaning. I recommend using warm water, dawn dish soap, electric toothbrush and blow dryer or heat gun. Once it’s clean and dry, use Tamiya Metal Primer (can or airbrush). Once that dries, use regular Tamiya grey primer and you’re good to go. The more you do this the better you’ll get. Hope this helps.

  I inherited one of these from my grandfather. I’d like to install DCC but never attempted before. I see TCS has kits with everything you need, but there doesn’t seem to be a lot of information differentiating between the kits besides them looking like different sizes. Any tips?

• 
  @lipsnortheasttrains9128 Жыл бұрын

  Jeff, I’d recommend getting the following: 1) Decoder Buddy Mini (21 pin) 2) 21 pin TCS WOW steam (latest version) 3) TCS Keep Alive (either size) 4) Warm White Micro LED (eBay) The decoder buddy mini makes installing DCC extremely easy. Just watch a few videos for each item listed above and you should be good. When installing DCC, determine which side of the boiler picks up power then make sure the tender picks up power from the opposite side of the boiler. Use a multimeter to determine this. This ensures you don’t get shorts because the decoder needs to be isolated from the brass and get power from both left and right rails. Everything needs to be isolated. I can’t stress that enough. Hope that helps.

  Excellent job! Where’d you pickup the number boards and the headlight bezel?

• 
  @lipsnortheasttrains9128 Жыл бұрын

  Thank you. I cut out plastic styrene to fit the number boards and airbrushed them black before adding the decal numbers. I made the lens out of plastic optical fiber and just heat the tip with a lighter to create the shape of the lens. While it’s still warm, press the tip against a clean flat surface to get the lens to be flat. That’s how I make the lens for brass models. Works great but it takes some practice. Hope this helps.
