I am back in the saddle again after falling on the ice and busting up my hip. Finally got to a local show here and picked this up on the cheap. it has a DCC decoder in it. It was made in Yugoslavia and might be an AHM product or Bachman. Needs some minor repairs, but runs great

| Ken, Frank, I get this vision of those two brute 4-6-2's in some sort of weight pulling contest on a couple long straight sections, creeping along with about 100 cars each behind them.

My two (of four) AHM GP9's. Re-powered with Sagami can motors, flywheels and dynamic brake blisters. Weighing in at 1.5 lbs apiece they run sweet and will pull about 60 cars as a set.

thanks stephen. Is yours DC or DCC? I think somebody managed to pack a decoder in there and did a great job. When I get around to repainting it for the NYC I will photograph it completely case anyone want's to install one. Shame it's too small for sound.

I don't have one. I just used the picture from Tony Cook's AHM page. I put the link right below it. Anyway, I don't think it's DCC. It's from 1973 and they didn't have DCC back then. It is very likely that someone added DCC to that little shunter.

New old stock Athearn F unit laboring up 1.5% grade with 15 Tyco NH box cars and caboose. Worked nifty until the armature mount melted at the top of the hill.

I would LOVE to see how they did that... I have two and have been patiently waiting for someone else to figure out how to wire up one of those little critters so I don't have to figure it out myself. Nice find!

thanks for the links. This is why I love (hate) the forum, as it got the old dreaming process going again. As ffor the repowering the worm to metal, someboby already did that as well as the forward/reverse lights. Been trying to photo the DCC board setup, but am having trouble getting a good sharp pic. What is got me in trouble is the fantastic detailing and paint job. I have to locate an exhaust stack setup like the one pictured first in the link. Oh well another project to add to a long list of others

Interesting that someone already replaced the worm (I wonder if they read about it here ). ChrisC also did a neat job on his, but I'll leave you to track down his threads.
I'd like to see a picture of the innards when you get that worked out. If you're using a dedicated camera, the little flower icon is for closeup shots.
Ken, that PFM is beauteous.
Jerry, you really snazzed up that GP50.

well here are some pics as best I can get.  
It appears that the decoder picks up power fron the wiper contacts on either side of the frame and since the frame is plastic fed direct to the motor contacts. the lights are wired from the decoder and it has a reversing function built into it. On closer inspection I found the worm is plastic and not metal, but it is quiet and smooth and this thing will crawl very slow because of the decoder. For now I will leave well enough alone there.

The Mehano can motors weren't too bad and the gearing is quiet, but it would still run slower with a single lead worm. The problem is finding them now... I can't find them on eBay or Atlas or Kato's site. I've never seen one of these worms shot in red plastic. The installer did neat work milling out the lead weight for the decoder and the bulb.

Those motors don't draw that much... about 300 milliamps under normal use. They probably wouldn't draw much more at full slip in that switcher. You can DCC almost any old loco, you just have to get a decoder with a high enough current rating depending on the motor.

They are not that expensive either. This is where I bought mine.

There were a few more roads available when it was still made by lifelike.

Hi Jerry,
Sorry about that. LOL
I actually have most ATSF passenger locos. I have the Erie Built (Proto 1000), E-7 (Proto 2000), E-6 (Proto 2000), PA (Proto 1000), F-3 (Intermountian) , and F-7(Athearn) so I know all about that slippery slope.

People want 120 and up for the Proto 1K models on ebay. I believe they are identical. This one is also dcc ready and very heavy. A steal if you ask me.

That's pretty much what I meant in that post.
