I fixed an Athearn F7 that I put a TCS T1 a few years back. I remember when I did it I was scared to death and had springs everywhere. The TCS site has great install pictures and instructions that help a great deal.

RMax,
Pretty soon you'll be an instructor.

I'm with you on the shaky hands and sweaty brow when it comes to taking a sledge to something I've never done before. When it comes to my old hot rod or my trains, there is no one else except me I can go to. If you need it you just gotta pull up your sleeves and dive right in. Congrats. Don't back down now.

How about a link to that portion of the web site?

Hi RMax,
Great thread man, me dad started me well over 50yrs ago with Hornbey 3rail, then things started slowing down about 15/20yrs back, you know sight (glasses get sorted every year) arthitics etc. thought about taking it easy.
Ho ye, someone goes and developes DCC, not realy bothered till, it starts getting noisy (audio), er, thats when the fun started. The gray matter don't turning over that fast past 65 and you get these 16 year olds are keeping you at it needing help chips (decoders). Thank god I can still use an iron. I give these lads a wide berth when they're learing to solder, but I'm loving it, one or two are getting good at it even with the odd burn.
The old bat (wife) says I'm nuts, well, ye but I'm a happy nut. So what.
All I say is keep at it.
Be in touch.
