Hello all, new to the forum. I have Massoth 8410210 Pantograph Contol Board with Massoth pantograph motors. I am trying to install this standalone in a project locomotive. I want it to run automatically in analog mode. I can’t get it to work on pure DC analog. I have a Digitrax central station and have been able to get it to work on DCC. I have it wired with the two pin track connection. I have two incandescent lights installed to test it. DCC works, however with DCC I use the power on... Read more

This item is unused except for testing today and therefore never been outside. Bench tested with input from LGB 5006 AC. Triggers with loco magnet and slider adjusts response time (although I obviously couldn't test every possible response time). Also accepts DC power. Boxed with instructions. Andy at Amazing Little Trains has one for sale for £50 so I'm asking £35 or offer. Can add the 17000 relay I used to test (also unused prior to test) for £10 or offer. All plus £4... Read more

As you can see on the photograph, the base plate of my Gondola 8519 of the RhB is warped. Does anyone have a way of straightening it out? I was wondering if putting it in boiling water would help but maybe someone has another solution.

I am letting go of some Bachmann 1:20.3 scale locomotives (K27, 2-6-6-2 mallet & others) and some rolling stock which have never been used and are still in their original packaging. What is the best platform for selling, I have never sold anything online before?

Greetings from South Central Pennsylvania, USA, near Harrisburg. We've had a 14'X16' ground level G-scale loop layout and are looking to elevate the entire layout to a height of approximately 32" to make running and maintenance easier. We retired seniors are finding ground level maintenance more challenging than we wish. Any suggestions?

Hello, I’m after the following couple of items if possible please, only need to be manual: -R1 LH turnout X1 -R3 RH turnout X1 Regards Matt

I am looking for the following items, be they runners, non-runners or dismantled - all considered. Will pay packing and shipping to (or within) the United Kingdom. Aristo-Craft ALCO FA-1 Aristo-Craft EMD SD45 with a High Hood Aristo-Craft GE DASH-9-44CW Many thanks in advance Robert

Hello, I am newly registered on the forum. I present to you my new indoor layout (three videos). The first details the dismantling of my old layout and the next two details the construction of the new one : See you soon, Géry

This new in-box Aster/LGB Loco still in original wrapping has Frozen Drive Gears and Below Johnston Bar Rod to direction valve also frozen. I oiled her well and will check her in 24 hours.And if not freed up, I will just gently steam her up.Any tips or other ideas would help. Thank you. Full Steam Ahead..

Hi, lurker here. I've been in and out of HO since I was a kid and just got into G gauge this spring. So far I have a mix of Lionel, Bachmann, and LGB rolling stock & locos, including the inevitable Stainz. (not my pics but same colors & raised lettering) My older basic Stainz (no smoke/sound/etc) is missing the water filler funnel and air compressor. I like the look without them and it seems like LGB made them up with the aid of their famous ruler. But those big... Read more

My understanding of electronics is embarrassingly weak - I'm hoping someone who knows about these things can help. Here is my homemade capacitor discharge unit, gleaned from the internet, which works reasonably well but I'm sure could be made to put out a touch more clout (pulse) to LGB EPL drives. Is there anything to be gained by either increasing the source voltage, or using a bigger capacitor, without frying the point motors ? The capacitor I've used has a working voltage (?)... Read more
