"HGC" or High Gravity Compound, weighs nearly the same as Metal Trucks but with more detail & a 2 piece split bolster design for more efficient truck equalization, reduced axle friction for greater rolling performance. One Pair HO-Scale "HGC" Two Piece Fully EqualizedElectrical PickupTrucks Features:  Self Centering Action - Trucks self align themselves parallel with the car for easier placement on track. Code 110 (.110) 33" Smooth Back Wheels "HGC" Weighs nearly the same as Metal Trucks Superior Rolling Ability Clip on Brake Pads Accurate Markings Incredible Detail True to Prototype Non-Magnetic Metal Wheels Highly Flexible Fully Equalized Trucks Smooth tracking Free Rolling Contoured Insulated Axles RP-25 Free Rolling Wheels Electrical Pickup Patent number 7,434,518 B2 Package Includes: (2) Each #590 Bettendorf - AAR Electrical Pickup Self Centering Caboose Truck (Leaf Spring) (assembled) (2) Clip on Brake Pads (2) Electrical Pickup w/wire (2) Each Self Centering Bushing (2) Each #2 Screw The term Code 110 and Code 88 relates to the width of the wheels and has no relationship to track code. Code 110 wheels are .110" wide and Code 88 are .088" wide. Code 110 wheels are the common (or "Standard") width wheels and Code 88 are what is called "Semi-Scale" and are used when the modeler wants a more prototypical looking wheel width. Actual HO-Scale prototypical wheel width would be around .067" wide and although they will run OK on the average track they will not go through common turnouts and crossings. Code 88 (.088") is just about the minimum width of wheel that will run on most standard or common track if gauged correctly. It really is a matter of appearances because there's very little operational differences between running Code 110 or Code 88 wheels. Code 88 wheels look really good and are most noticeable on open frame cars like hoppers and tank cars. However, they also look great on boxcars, gondolas, and reefers but not quite as noticeable. As mentioned above track code and wheel code have no relationship meaning Code 110 and Code 88 will run on most any code of track. Track code is simply the measured height of the rail, code 100 is .100" tall, code 83 is .083" tall, code 70 is .070" tall, and so on.

On the N&W, hopper cars were the most common type of freight cars on the roster - about a 4-to-1 ratio of hopper cars over all other cars combined.  The H2a 3-Bay Hopper was the most common type, and was numbered from 15,500 - 25,499; 26,000 - 26,999; 28,500 - 29,999; and 31,000 - 31,999.  That is one impressive class!  N&W also leased these hopper cars to PRR and B&O where they were painted in their respective schemes.   In this production run, we are offering models of three N&W paint schemes, one PRR scheme, and one B&O scheme.  We are also building models of H2a cars painted in the liveries of four other major railroads who owned similar cars, and we have built four fantasy models that will add fun to your layout.  The hopper car models come completely assembled and decorated.   Each 2-pack contains two distinctive cars with different road numbers.    Industry-leading Model Features:    Plastic (ABS) body with ABS chassis Metal wheels and axles milled for Ultra-Smooth Friction-Free movement Detailed Underbody Removable Coal Load Detailed Interior Operating Knuckle Couplers Will Operate on Code 55, 70, and 80 rail Minimum Operating Radius:  9 inches.

The Digitrax SDXN167n18 is an N scale sound decoder on the Next18 plug, so in a Next18-equipped locomotive the install is a single connector and nothing else. It carries SoundFX v3 with eight CV-selectable steam and diesel sound schemes on board, which means one decoder covers a lot of different models, and new .spjs sound files can be loaded later with a Digitrax USB programmer. Building a DCC fleet? Browse our DCC Decoders, DCC Speakers, and DCC Accessories. Features Next18 plug-in connector - no soldering, no harness. Fits the Atlas N FA-1 and other Next18-equipped N scale locomotives. 8 CV-selectable sound schemes included, steam and diesel, so you can match the decoder to the prototype without reloading anything. SoundFX v3 with reloadable .spjs sound files via a Digitrax USB programmer if you want something specific later. 6 FX3 function outputs for headlights and lighting effects alongside the sound functions. Motor drive rated to the Next18 connector capacity - sized for N scale mechanisms. More Information Brand Digitrax Item Number SDXN167n18 Product Type DCC Sound and Motor Decoder Scale N Connection Next18 plug-in connector Function Outputs 6 x FX3 Sound Yes - SoundFX v3, 8 selectable schemes Speaker Included No - speaker sold separately Motor Drive To Next18 connector capacity Series Digitrax Series 7 Condition New FAQ Does my locomotive have a Next18 socket?Pull the shell and look for a small 18-pin connector, much smaller than a 21MTC and finer-pitched than an 8-pin socket. Manufacturers usually advertise it as "Next18 ready". The Atlas N FA-1 is one common example. Is a speaker included?No. Pick a speaker that fits your shell and matches the decoder impedance - in N scale that usually means a 13mm round or a small oval. Fitting it in a sealed baffle makes a large difference to the result. What do the eight sound schemes cover?A mix of steam and diesel prime movers, selectable by CV, so one decoder can serve several different models in your fleet without reloading sound. Can I load a different sound file?Yes. New .spjs files can be written to the decoder with a Digitrax USB programmer such as the PR4. Running the decoder needs no Digitrax hardware at all - any NMRA DCC system will do.
