TT scale trains and models

I like that SW9, some very nice detail.

All up and running again, nice and smooth. The supplier gave me a replacement decoder no questions asked. I fitted the speaker into the fuel tank this time but with no detectable difference to the sound. But it's acceptable. I also fitted Kadee 705s instead of the previous MTLs. Very nice, first tim...

Yes, I have no problem buying MTLs, and they work as replacements, I was just wondering if there was a direct replacement. Anyway it's all fixed now.

Yesterday I dropped one of my Zeuke hoppers and broke one of the couplers.

The motor works fine on DC. But the decoder shows the same problems when hooked up to another motor. So back to the supplier.
Dismantling the innards has given me another 'opportunity' - I'll try and fit the speaker into the fuel tank rather than inside the body shell for better sound.

I've just come back to my ttnut screen to find I'd been kicked out and had to log back in.

I'm having trouble with the GP9 I motorised and installed a Zimo MX648 sound decoder into. After working fine for several months it's started to behave erratically. First the loco started moving jerkily for a while, but now it won't move at all in one direction, and in the other direction it races o...

Sorry to add to the woes but I am having problems staying logged in too, even though I'm on the https site and check the box that says remember me. After a day or so I get kicked out.
