Weve got lights on the stack

Weve got light s on the DCC-EX Command Station, USPS didnt steal my laptop power supply that I purchased on eBay. I was able to power up and run trains with JMRI and DCC-EX, It took a bit of tinkering but I got it running. I need to figure out how to export my roster to my laptop so I dont need to recreate my roster on the laptop.

Lights!!!!!!!

No lights

USPS is stealing my packages

Today makes the second package stolen from out of my mailbox. I had a package that was delivered to the locker in my building today. I go to open my mailbox and there in a key to open the locker but there is already a key in the locker what the actual fuck. Two weeks ago a package was supposed to been delivered to my mailbox and there was no package in the mailbox . The postmaster is clueless, the temp letter carrier is a thief plain and simple. Today I got home theres a new key in my mailbox for a different locker and my package from yesterday was in it guess they're working those USPS workers too hard. 

 

Installed EM13 decoder in IR ISHIKWA 521 Series Kato 10-1507

 I finally got my order from Plaza Japan that included several decoders some vehicles and other goodies. First thing that I wanted to do was put a decoder in my IR Railways Series 521. As usual I couldn't find a tutorial for the instructions for installing a decoder in 5his car. Thank goodness that the installation is pretty standard and easy. 

• Remove the grey plastic box on the bottom of the train.
• Then remove the truck don't lose that drive rod. 
• Take the decoder a flip it so the black chip is facing up then slide it in underneath the copper strip.
• Reinstall the truck making sure you get the rod into the flywheel properly.
• Put the grey box back on the EMU
• You're done.
