Got a Bachmann Thomas and
want to know what decoder fits?
Well, the Z14SR fits inside the cab! Thomas is a pretty easy
engine to convert to DCC. The hardest part is drilling the headlight
casing to take a GOR bulb! Run the wiring under the "running board"
and secure with tacky glue. That way you don't have wiring near his
eye mechanism.
Chop noses? Yeah we do em!

Once you do your 1st one, it gets easier. WM35 started life with
a high nose, then got it lowered and a front cab wall & windshield
scratch built. There are 3 more waiting to be done. Someday.....

Here's the latest from my twisted mind! Can motored, cabless
Hustler with its "Master" unit. I'll get better pics after the final
detailing and light weathering is done. The gray unit in the
backround is a Tyco Alco 430 Century. The chassis under it is a
stretched MDC RS3 chassis with a Sagami can. Here it is below, with
its new Conrail paint!


Yes, I am somewhat
twisted. What is this creature in the pic above???
Well, lets see, it's the front and an f unit, the back of a
u boat, and they upgraded the electrical system so that
functionally, it was compatible to any dash 2 unit. So that
makes it an FU-2, right ?
What is really funny at shows when I overhear
someone pointing at it and saying, "Heck yeah, I seen dem before,
they run dem down in Mixeeco!"
Sometimes I can get away before they see me
laughing, sometimes not!
