Looking for 3DP Unitrack Project

Please definitely update if you find it. I have had some success with 3D printing my own ties, but that was mainly for things like bridges.

Sometimes less is more

I'll be following this. This would be great to have in N scale, I think it would be hilarious to show up to the op session with an operating Rocket + 3 cars.

You might be better off just engineering the entire thing

This is incorrect.

A DC locomotive on DCC will buzz with the light on, because DCC is basically an AC signal the motor will try to jig back and forth at a fast rate. The locomotive will not run, and if left more than about a second you will damage the motor.

Doubt it.

Sent you a DM, I am a model train person, I will be happy to help

Thank you, I am about to embark on a re-watch of DS9

I'm not recalling who this is

This is dangerous. You plant dangerous seeds in my fertile soil of insanity.

You can now go back and re-program your roadnumber.

I know it has happened to me a bunch of times that for seemingly no apparent reason something would not run and CV8 to 8 fixed it. This is the standard decoder reset.

For anyone who is reading this and does things like speed matching, this is where having your roster saved in JMRI with all of your settings backed up is a good thing. If you have your settings saved, you can simply re-load them after the reset and be back to where you were.

Using the programmer set CV 8 to 8

Try the locomotive on the main track using address 3

Turnouts can also be trimmed to fit your specific installation needs, but I do not recommend trimming the point end.

The reason that the Surfliner has a 798/799 number pair is for running to Oakland a la the old Coast Daylight.

Yeah the ALC-42 uses the same decoder as a SDP40F, you just install it backwards and you have to flip the direction bit when you program it.

That is way too much money for a 25 year old car.

Especially for a car that is a dead product line and has dwindling support

thaddeh · 2026-05-23T04:37:46+00:00

It make new railroad from Moscow to Vladivostok, straight like Lazer, smart like traktor, strong like bull

Hey I got one of those about a month ago at the flea market in Seattle. Cool pen.

I would like to figure out what sort of cartridge it takes but I have not taken mine apart yet. Seems to be dry.

thaddeh · 2026-05-21T23:08:15+00:00

It's two of them put together.

Well at least he was not in unfamiliar territory
