  Bowser Steam DCC
Posted by: andy.chandler71@gmail.com - 05-08-2025, 07:31 PM - Forum: DCC - Replies (1)

Gize:  am trying to install DCC on Bowser k4.  Am using skew wound open frame that Bowswer  said would work for DCC .  It draws 1/2 amp.  I wired up digitrax decoder per instructions.  How do I mount the motor so it is isolated from frame?  I have been told this new motor does NOT need to be isolated, but I have my doubts. The issue is the S shaped brass mounting plate.  I requires a long 2-56 through the magnet.  The do not seem to be nylon screws that long in the Google search.  Is there something I am doing wrong.  Have wasted two decoders and am trying to install a third one.  

Am i doing the impossible?  thanks

  HobbyLine Pennsylvania #1000
Posted by: TonyC - 05-02-2025, 03:27 PM - Forum: Upper Berth - Replies (8)

Hello, 

I picked up some nice HO trains at an estate sale today and I'm not familiar with one of the brands.  I have a HobbyLine Pennsylvania #1000 engine.  I haven't been able to find any images or information on this.  Is it from the 1950's or much more recent?  And what is the approximate value of this engine? 

   

Thanks!

  Lehigh Valley Decals
Posted by: Charlie B - 04-25-2025, 11:24 AM - Forum: Engineer's Technical Workshop - Replies (7)

I am in need of decals for Lehigh Valley locomotives that have the white flag. Everything I have come up with has red flags which were not on their red units.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  I ordered a set for LV cabooses that does have white flags but I have to wait to see if they are the right size
