Just seen your other post! I have the grey Challenger. Oh yea I was told that MTH wheels are
brushed stainless steel on rolling stock.

Hi Ed, just saw your posts. I use DCS. Very nice! Easy to use! I've been tuning up my track work, so my lashups can be configured however I like. Joe

 I have been messing with DCS for about three years now. Sure does spoils you compared to the rest.

Hey Joe just came in after running my MTH stuff outside. I love the DCS system ! Had three trains going on the double track at the same time . Have fun! Mike.

  Both the Aristo-craft locomotives have been converted to DCS with the MTH Up-grade Kit.

DMU, great shots. I'm jealous of your outdoor layout! I have a couple USA's that need converting. One SD40-2 CBQ has been converted to dcc w/sound. Never run it. Too bad they aren't more compliant.

Mike, any pics of your engines? Joe
