David's O Scale Blog. Wednesday, February 12, 2014. O Scale DCC Decoders. I think I'm going to post a few DCC tutorials on some items I'm working on.maybe they can help others in the market to learn more about DCC and easy it is to actually use. Below is a chart of decoders that I'm vaguely familiar with at least in hearing, some more-so in actual usage on my own locomotives. I have not extensively used any accessory or lighting decoders at this time. Click on chart for full-size.). See My O-Scale Nat'l ...

http://davejfr0.blogspot.com/2014/10/upgraded-my-sunset-models-fp7-from-qsi.html
David's O Scale Blog. Friday, October 31, 2014. Upgraded my Sunset Models FP7 from QSI Q2 sounds to QSI Q3 Titan sounds. I did a very quick video comparison to show how much better the bell, horn, (and prime mover) sound in the new Q3 sound files. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). O Scale Resource V2#5 May/June 2015.

David's O Scale Blog: Southern Railway Prototype Horn Information
http://davejfr0.blogspot.com/2014/12/southern-railway-prototype-horn.html
David's O Scale Blog. Wednesday, December 10, 2014. Southern Railway Prototype Horn Information. Here is some information on Southern Railway horns from online sources that I wanted to capture here. For a guide to railroad horns in general see: http:/ atsf.railfan. net/airhorns/. Nathan M Series Horns:. Nathan P Series Horns:. The lower the bell #, the longer the bell and lower the frequency it plays. Supertyfons were notorious for this, but Nathan/Airchime horns could also squeal under the right (that i...

David's O Scale Blog: April 2013
http://davejfr0.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
David's O Scale Blog. Sunday, April 14, 2013. Latest Built Kit - ATSF Bx-12 Raised Roof Boxcar. I was asked to build kits by 2 good friends in the hobby. This is the first of the last I will do outside of my roster. It just takes too much time away from my other list of projects. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). O Scale Resource V2#5 May/June 2015.

David's O Scale Blog. Saturday, April 26, 2014. PRR GLa Hoppers, PRR 2D-F8 trucks, USRA Hoppers, and 86' Auto Parts Hi-Cubes! Lionel Hopper projects including the PRR GLa. They did not have 3D-printed mockups at the show. Also of interest.Lionel is investing in tooling for the correct truck under the GLa, the PRR 2D-F8 truck. Can't read them as is? Click em for higher resolution. And perhaps just as important to the 1960s and onward modelers - 86' auto parts boxcars! Stirrups were broken off model. OST I...

David's O Scale Blog: Guess Who
http://davejfr0.blogspot.com/2014/06/guess-who.html
David's O Scale Blog. Sunday, June 22, 2014. One of about eight concurrent projects taking major shape today.enjoy a glimpse of a model more detailed than any imported brass, but requiring many grueling hours. Good thing I'm only ever going to make two. While I would be saddened if they did, I truly doubt the importers will pony up the tooling cost to ever to do these in plastic.

David's O Scale Blog: September 2013
http://davejfr0.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
David's O Scale Blog. Monday, September 23, 2013. My Thoughts on Weaver's MILW Ribside Cars. Ladder rungs are a bit thick. No piping between brake line components. Thick and non-scale roofwalk supports. Molded-in grabs on ends. Brake wheel area looks legit. 1st at Indy '13. I'm writing this while waiting for a flight back from Indy. Took a little detour after the show. Good show overall. Attendance may have a been a little light. Hope its not the sign of the times. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). OST ISSUE #...

http://davejfr0.blogspot.com/2014/01/ln-orange-ps-3-ht.html
David's O Scale Blog. Saturday, January 25, 2014. LN Orange PS-3 HT. This is a repainted Lionel model modified with AtlasO trucks. I made the decals for these using the lettering diagram and discussion with Curt Fortenberry. The trucks even have the appropriate white labeling per the diagrams. Standard magnetic airhoses and cutlevers were added as well. Photos below:. Side View - Left. Side View - Right. ACI label is from microscale. Angle - End View. January 29, 2014 at 2:38 PM.
