Keith: As a matter of info, I don't have any"decoders" as such, having spent enough throttle time on an Alco S-2 that I remember very well what they sound like.
I don't know what the lifespan of contact cement is, but where I used it to hold my turntable bridge rails in place, it is beginning to fail. I always wanted to do this project the right way eventually, anyway, and I will try to keep a photo record of my progress. Some of my skills have improved over the years, I hope! I am considering posting the photos in the "Photos" section of this list, to make sure the material gets out there when I want it to. I have too many articles submitted out there that have never been published or returned as unsatisfactory leaving me in limbo as to whether I can re-submit them elsewhere, in spite of cries for fresh material. More on this as time goes on. Right now, my major focus is finding my workbench, which is buried under the debris of projects past. Don't let Jamie pull your leg - string works, when nothing else will! boB Nicholson __________________________________________ --- In [email protected], Jamie Bothwell <vze4cs43@...> wrote: > > Yeah Bob, > What decoder would you use for a 539T prime mover?
