Hi all, just posting to get the shop back onto the first page. Not much going on here though. Ryan, thanks for the kinds words about the NYC locos - the near one's one of the old E R Models Sharknoses and the far one's a Proto 1K C-Liner, both have the cheap Bachmann DCC decoders fitted though I'm thinking that was a mistake - the P1k loco seems to be either not moving or taking off! I think adjusting the speed curve might help though my Compact can't program to that level. I've just ordered a couple of Lenz decoders to convert my Bachmann doodlebug and my Fleischmann DB Br.211 when it arrives, will be sticking to these from now on as they seem to be far better judging by the two I had in the starter kit. Interesting to hear about the new Athearn N loco, I remember the reviews of their F59PHI which basically said "nice model, but the motor's not right" - it was apparently not a good slow runner and made an awful noise at speed due to the motor being over-revved. Hope they fix it, the F59PHI looked great apart from the motor problems.
