Has anyone had success wiring decoders in the newer style of Marklin Diesel engines with the split boards on either side of the motor? The older boards are a ?tile more straight forward as to what to

There are clearly 2 schools of thought. Screws are easy and can be removed. However they show and more importantly is securing track at a single point (the screw hole) will often cause a "dip" in the

The RC02 switch control can be used alone with the A028U wall transformer and the several RC02 can be snapped together while not connected to one of Rokuhan's, train controllers. With just the one

Understood. I am planning on using their switch to control their turnouts; just not sure the best way to power them since this is a suitcase layout and I’m using the Noch controller for the

I recommend using Rokuhan’s switch to control their turnouts rather than trying an unproven lash-up. We use these turnouts for the back-of-house passing siding on the modular Nn3 logging layout seen

The Turnouts are 'pulsed' with DC to make them switch. The C002 gets its power from the Controller via the snap contacts. Since the C002 creates alternate polarity DC to pulse the turnout, you can use

I am building my first z-scale layout for my son (in a Noch suitcase). ?I am going to use Rokuhan track, and the rokuhan switch/controllers (C002). If I am NOT using the Rokuhan train controller

Glad you are doing family activities. This is fairly simple to answer, but first,? which one of the Noch framed layouts? Attaching track: Please, do not use caulking. The Rokuhan (which means:6.5 in

Michael welcome! I have used Liquid Nails Projects to secure my Rokuhan track. It works well! Rokuhan’s straight sections all include notches for the feeder cable. It is simple and works well.

New to z-scale. I'm building a suitcase layout for my son (I was able to procure a Noch aluminum case), and am planning on using Rokuhan track. ?Two questions: 1) What's the best way to attach the

Aluminum framed or clad instrument cases made of MDF are about 18x13x5 inches. Prices vary but range from $30-50, sometimes less. Harbor freight used to carry them. I have used them for model trains

There are a lot of ‘brief case’ dimensions but for the larger, longer running, multi track, lesser ‘loop-on-loop; I have only found musical instrument cases, like keyboards and Mixers to match

North Country Trains just built a Z scale loop in a suitcase. Maybe look him up on YouTube and ask him which suitcase he used. Heath

My wife and I have built several briefcase layouts using Rokuhan track and doing the scenery ourselves. And you are right, the cost was far less than what Noch and it's resellers charge. We have

New here. I want to build-up a z-scale portable layout similar to the ones Noch offers, but without spending their crazy price for my son as he moves on to his next life chapter. Where can one get

That's a good idea. I have been experimenting with adding sound decoders to my steam locos and in the process I have inadvertently popped the pin out if the new driver assemblies a few times. I have

-- Anthony, Since converting my first Marklin Mini Club steam locomotive to Nn3 in 1972, I have disassembled and re-assembled dozens (if not hundreds) of Z steam locomotives. Removing the driver

Such one was the first Z-loco I dismounted... (... yes I know, but I was young... ;-) ) The point is: The four cog-wheels between the coupled axles looks same but are not! Have a look at the

I'd stay away from this "fix". Not all loco's need this adjustment. Recently I took a 2-10-0 apart to clean. I broke both sides of the power pickups...bent too many times. I also couldn't re-assemble

That is very interesting. What is the best way to make this expansion? I would be wary of popping the wheels off the axels. Also, all those new drive rod assemblies look cool but they are very
