A couple of updates NCE USB interface and sending in the DZ126T in for repairs.

Yup I finally got a NCE USB interface to use so I can program decoders. I'm thinking about building a dedicated programming section.

Somehow the red wire on my DZ126T came off at the decoder so I'm sending it in for warranty repair. This sucks as I have no more decoders to use.

Hopefully this is the start to something new Digitrax DZ126T on deck

Today a Digitrax DZ126T showed up, I haven't installed a decoder in at least 10 years. I think the last decoder I installed was in a Tomix track cleaning car Which was actually successful believe it or not. The plan for the DZ126T is to install in in the recently arrived Hello Kitty 8 car Shinkansen. I think Ive found a good guide to use for the installation of the DZ126T, Its soooooooooooooooooooooo small you will never see it in the motor car even with a microscope.

Thinking about going to Japan

And one of my biggest feats is the language so I found a great translator better than Google called Papago. It does a good job of translating Japanese into English which is good for those pesky Kato boxes.

Remember when I said no more trains well I lied and placed an order with PlazaJapan for.........

The Tomix 98662 JR Series 500-7000 Sanyo Shinkansen 'Hello Kitty' 8 Cars Set. It's 2 am in the morning and I cant sleep plus I couldn't help myself I wanted it and I got it. Hopefully you never quite know with Plaza Japan lol if or when you'll get your item. Well all I can do now is wait and see if they fulfil the order or not. This will be a great statement piece for me to have its's no Evangelion set but oh well here are some product pics from the PJ website.
