I sold three, two NS C40-9W and a UP C44-9W for under $250 each. Someone on this thread bought one NS for $125.00. They weren't running and I didn't want to charge obscene prices, so lucky them. I hope they got it running. Scott I Didn't buy it, But I know who's workbench its sitting on waiting on a Replacement Motor to be installed.

Is it possible to put DCC in the Mikado? Has anyone tried and succeeded? Can you post photos if possible? Tim Yes it is possible. Yes a lot of people have succeeded. The CT elektronik DCX742D, or the CT DCX76zD decoders fit. If you can find one.(Not sold in the USA) The Doehler & Haass PD05A-3 Decoders fit just fine. The ESU LokPiolot 5 Micro will work but it's a tight fit. The TCS Z2, the Digitrax DZ126T and a few other nano/micro sized decoders can be made to fit but its a tighter fit. There is a thread on TrainBoard with pictures and instructions. www.trainboard.com/highball/index.php?threads/azl-mikado-first-impressions-dccd.71864/

Sorry the quality is not the best I'm not much of a Videographer but here are a few more video's from the show This was our largest display so far. We filled our 30' x 40' display area and then some. Their was usually a minimum of 4 trains running and as many as 8 at times. On average it took a little over 12 minutes for a train to make a single loop around the layout.

Have fun, Dave! I will only have 1 table with my T-rail-Z modules and my T scale at a train show in Kirkwood, Missouri this weekend. Good luck with your Show Thom 1 table is better than none.
