H9 in the hole waiting for M-1a with I1 helper to pass.  All Brass and DCC equiped and the H9 is the best runner of the bunch.

The H9 gives me little probems.  The Il has sound and gets a lot of jerky start and stops because of the sound.  The M1a runs O.K. but does need better pickup.  I need to find someone who can finetune and add tender pickup to make them great runners.  Also those long tenders had a tendency to derail on my sharper curves.   I've got a Kato mike and the L1 conversion kit and one of these days I'll get around to finishing it.  Also got an old K4 which doesn't run and am thinking about just selling it as is.

If no one else is going to ask, I will.  Nato, in photo #2 why are the vehicles driving on the wrong sides of the road?

For this reason I always install a separate decoder for motor control in the engine itself.  The TSU 750 is always only used for sound.  This setup also prevent expensive damage to a sound decoder.
