Model Railway: Locomotives
I am now back from a trip to Calgary to pick up 4 of my 5 locomotives that have had Tsunami AT1000 DCC decoders installed. The 5th remained behind in Calgary as the decoder chip "fried" when it was tested. I have run the 0-8-0 steam locomotive on a piece of test track - the sound is incredible. Steam locomotives are much noisier than diesel. But I now need to put all of my locomotives on hold while I fix up my layout.
While passing through Calgary on our way to Edmonton I stopped off and picked up my diesel locomotive 6707, an Alco FA-2 Diesel. This completes the insertion of decoders into my locomotives.
