Posted by gondola1988 on Wednesday, September 22, 2010 8:05 PM

If I remember right there was a do it yourself project that was in MR but I dont remember what issue. I would like to power it from track power as I am using Digitrax for my pike. Any help would be very useful, Thanks Jim.

I bought two of the fred's from Ring Tech. It comes mounted on a truck with the flashing device mounted on a #5 coupler. They work good on DCC.

It's Ring Engineering not ring tech and yes they are really great looking and work beautifully.

The little guy would work as long as he don't jump to high and the train rolls out from under him (lol) Jim.
