This my take two on a extraordinary Lionel Vision Line Hybrid locomotive. My previous GE Evolution engine was destroyed during shipping to Lionel for warranty repairs, thanks to the environmentally friendly packaging. Such packaging should be reserved for fast food, etc. not for fragile die-cast expensive O gauge engines.

Back in 1998, MTH brought out a Premier model of the Jersey Central (CNJ) Blue Comet, a heavy Pacific (4-6-2) locomotive, painted in two tones of blue, which hauled a special train from the CNJ terminal in Jersey City to the seaside resort of Atlantic City (long before the days of casinos). The model was issued with the original Protosound system (PS1) and I later converted it to Protosound 2 (PS2) so that it could be controled with the DCS remote control system. Over the years, MTH has brought out several sets of matching passenger cars (all named for comets), to the point that I now have twelve of them. In this True HD 1080p video, you get to see the Blue Comet locomotive with all of its matching passenger cars, a model of one of the most famous trains ever to travel the rails here in New Jersey. Please visit my web site — www.toytrains1.com — to see lots more videos and photos of both real and model trains.

Question by almintaka: Model trains: How to convert analog 4-4-0 Southern Pacific loco to DCC??
Hi everyone,
I have an HO scale analog 4-4-0 Southern Pacific locomotive that I would like to convert to DCC. I understand the basic electronics required for an encoder car behind the engine, but I keep hearing horror stories about people who build the encoder “by the book” but then have major vibration problems with the engine running at slow speeds or stopped. Has anyone out there come up with a good way to build an encoder that reduces or eliminates engine vibration?

Thanks to all for taking the time to read this. Have a good day !!!

Al, I’m not pretty sure you don’t need to house the decoder in a separate car. I model N scale, and though I don’t use DCC, many of my friends do. I’ve seen the sizes of decoders available today and a Digitrax DN140 will fit in almost anything. If I remember correctly, it’s about the size of a dime or smaller! That will hide away very easily inside your tender.

As for you vibration question, I’ve never heard of a decoder causing this. As model railroaders, we all know how delicate steam locomotives are. Even with careful handling, sometimes things happen. When taking one of these apart for any reason it is extremely important to take extra care with extreme attention to detail in order to have a smooth running steamer when finished. I can only conclude that during the “up-fit” process, some minor detail has been rearranged slightly causing a vibration.

Hope this helps…my email is yahoo verified if you wish to contact me…good luck
