New Loco & 1st time consist - Click on picture for a larger view

Loco #914 is a new addition to the railroad that I just purchased from ebay(tm). It's an Atlas RS36 that has a Digitrax decoder and separate MRC sound decoder, all for $89! I already had #911 RS36 that I equipped with a Digitrax decoder. For you old hands it's no big deal, but this was the first time I consisted locos on my layout. The good news is that #911 ran faster than #914 (lead loco), so it was a matter of playing with the CV programming on #911 to slow it down & match the speed and acceleration of #914. It took me about 30 minutes to get it right and I really like the way it looks / runs. I plan on consisting the balance of my locos as it is also more realistic.
