"Hello", that's all we expect here, just a way of knowing that you stopped by and that you're doing fine. No need for anything more. Got more to say, then stop by our "Hobo's Camp" and yap all ya want....

Note: you need to be logged on, and replies on this sub-forum are disabled so we don't get any discussions going here, a "hi", or "hello" would do just fine...

For me, I just say "Welcome, good to see you again"....

I recently got a newly released MTH Milwaukee Road Little Joe locomotive a few weeks ago. Last evening I was finally able to test it and I will say I was disappointed.

In DCC it runs erratically. Sometimes it runs smoothly and others it slows down to a crawl and shutters. I am not sure if some of this has to do with the fact that currently only have the layout has feeders. This poor running seems to occur mostly in the sections without feeders. However it will randomly slow down in the section with feeders also. At times it has troubles with going through switches. The sound turns on as soon you start to turn the throttle knob. On a couple of occasions after I have turned the throttle to zero it continues running at full speed. On a couple of times it has continued running after I press the emergency stop button.

Just to be sure there was nothing major wrong with the track I ran several of my other DCC locos from Broadway Limited, Bachmann, Atlas, and Rapido. They all ran with no problems.

I tested the loco in DC. The sound comes on as soon as you turn the knob. The loco does not move until the voltage reaches almost 11. It actually runs pretty smooth in DC. I don’t remember any stalling or slowing down including going through the switches.

Anyone have any ideas of what is going on? What additional testing can I try?

I have heard mixed reviews on other MTH’s HO locomotives. This is my first MTH loco and thus far I am not impressed.

We are looking to hold our first video chat in a while. We need to know who's in, what day and time works best for those that are, and lastly what media chat do we want to use and who knows enough about it to coordinate things.

So let's hear from everyone, we have had some good ones in the past and they are always enjoyable, just that the last one didn't work out too good, so let's hope we can do well this time.

To start with, I'm in, just that I've got some medical issues that I'm dealing with and some procedures that have not been scheduled yet, so I can keep everyone posted here when I know.

I will keep this list updated, so far the following have said they'd attend:

I thought there was a thread for sites we want to share but a search was fruitless. 

I wanted to mention this one site that prints 3d buildings and is constantly expanding his line and is very reasonably  priced.  His products lean heavy on the Victorian age but he has introduced some other wonderful models.

He does O and N as well as HO.
