The "new" JJJ&E In N Scale

[Powersteamguy1790]

I really like the B&W and Sepia photos. It helps with the allusion of age. How do the micro boards work with N scale equipment? I put a micro Tsunami into a HO 4-4-0 because of the size of the available space, but it constantly overheated. I ended up with a full size one.

Thanks Curt. The sepia and old time B&W really give the photo's that "aged" look. The Soundtraxx Micro decoders are awful. Notice I didn't use the motor functions of the Soundtraxx decoder on this steamer. I used the Lenz mini silver decoder for motor functions.Their motor functions are awful. For sound now, all I use are ESU Lok-Sound Select Micro decoders. The motor functions are equivalent to Zimo decoders and the sound is outstanding.

Stay cool and run steam.......

n Old Time Classic Photo Of A ATSF Mikado # 4016 on the mainline in the center of San Marino. There is an ESU Lok-Sound decoder and a mini oval speaker in the tender. This Mikado was the subject of an article of mine that was published in N Scale Magazine and was on the cover of the July/August 2007 issue of N Scale Magazine.

This one's for you Curt.  An old time classic photo of a Key Imports PRR M1A #6750 on the mainline in the Monterrey Mountains east of San Marino. This is a great view of the classic "Belpaire'" firebox which is classic for PRR steam locomotives.

Thanks Tom.

SP changed the color of some of the GS-4's to black during World War II.

Great photo.  I really like the depth of the town and the signage.
