Big Blue has inspired some purchases

[TMo]

Back for one more try with the brass Erie Lackawanna RS2... (pages 5 through 7 on this thread). After doing a little correspondence with Charlie, I got up a bit of gumption to try to install a DCC decoder that will last more than a minute or so while running on the layout. Put in another order for a Digitrax DN136 early this morning. Once I get it I'll be doing some additional work to further isolate the motor pickups from any potential contact with the shell and frame and doing a lot of resistance checks along the way. I've sorta fallen for some of this 70's Japanese brass and figure it's a good challenge that is worth trying.
