    Bah! Athearn made too many non-H3 locos...That is Heritage 1, by the way. Offer still stands on the UP SW7, I could use a switcher.

    Need help with a Proto 2000 loco quick!

    No, look at the fans on his model. They're what I call "flat-top," whereas in the pic you posted they are "dome-top." Heh. Then again, older Athearns aren't exactly known for accuracy; the "DD40" numbered as a DD35A is an example of that. lol

    Anyone in the Seattle area know how to wire steamers for DCC?

    I live just up the hill from Kirk and Wanda's place (Seattle's Train Center). I'm not a big fan of old Bob out at North End, but he did fix my Big Boy (came dirty as a goldmine! about as beautiful too, though.)

    Anyone in the Seattle area know how to wire steamers for DCC?

    Old old old (did I mention old?) Rivarossi Big Boy. Old Fleischmann 4-6-2 (dunno the actual classification) IHC USRA Heavy 0-8-0 w/ reversing lights (no DCC of course) I'd rather not mess with them...the Big Boy is my PRIDE AND JOY...if I screwed it up I'd never be able to live with myself.

    Someone found it, yay! lol Tetters gets a cookie! (had to do it) And yes, I suppose it would, but this loco is one of the ancient Athearns, plus it has 2 motors (so don't go yelling at me about the DH123AT drop-in decoder lol), so I had to come up with something else...the system...

    Athearn U33-b

    BTW, rooster list stuart? And you're talking about the old Athearn DD40's right? Twin motor and all that junk? I just finished DCC'ing one, the other has a problem where it keeps shorting out so I just dummified it lol. They are based on EMD's never-sold DD40 model (which UP took and...

    Hey everyone, let's play a game of FIND THE DECODER!

    And Roid is...WRONG! Look for blue... The plugs are so I can remove the decoder and plug those together in the right spots and make it run DC without having to re-rewire it lol BTW the one wire is fixed. In fact, what Roid circled was the wire that was in the wrong spot!
