[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Don Gibson [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by TEFFY "F" units from Genesis. Helper service from BLI's 4-8-4. Every once in a while, as the story goes, the diesels ]have to be serviced and the steam makes run by itself. Bob [/quote] TEFFY: The Genesis 'F's are running near top speed and all BLI's 'sit' until 9 volts is reached . I can readily believe you need your "diesels need to be serviced". Wait until BLI comes out with QSI wired F's - or Do you use DCC to 'program' your diesels to start at 9 volts? As a (Santa Fe) freak, 'helpers' were generally 2-10-2's over Cajon, Tehachapi, and Raton - and later other diesels such as 'F's or GP-9's. With BLI's announcement of bringing out AT&SF 2-10-2's, help is on the way, if you have DCC. [/quote] Don: I'm not in the train room right now so I can't tell you what number I've got programed into CV02 but both my hudson and northern start at 2% on my Digitrax DT400 throttle. It's fairly easy to double head with the northern just use both knobs. About the 4-8-4 running the train by itself, that's just a story for the northern to be on the head end. I've got two 2-10-2's and one 2-10-4 on order; so I have to improvise until they come in. I've got several United 2-10-2's and 2-10-4's but none of them have decoders in them, I'n waiting for the new decoder from Soundtraxx. Have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
