TESTTRAXX
You may have seen me, showing my prototypes of the all new Testtraxx at the 2006 National Narrow Gauge Convention in Durango, Colorado.

Here I am again...showing my prototypes of the all new Testtraxx at the 2008 National Narrow Gauge Convention in Portland, Oregon. My display has seen some refinement...

And again...showing my prototypes of the all new Testtraxx at the 2009 National Narrow Gauge Convention in Colorado Springs, Colorado. A tight display, a little light and the new Nn3 and N/Nn3 Dual gauge Testtraxxs wrapped and ready for sale too!

National Narrow Gauge Convention 2010 St. Louis, Missouri
Phew...for the last year, I have been building an addition to our house which includes a new home for Testtraxx and The Shay Fixer. We framed and racked roof trusses at -18 degrees Fahrenheit last winter and I was doing the finish work at 103 degrees Fahrenheit this summer...a true labor of love! It is now time to take a break for a couple of weeks..to ride on and talk trains...

Why buy a Testtraxx?
Testtraxx is fully adjustable, can be used with an 0-4-0 all the way up to the giant Big Boy of UP fame and...it is made right here in the USA!

You can...
control and monitor 'break in' of new equipment...
test new motors, new gears and electrical modifications...
use to lap new gearing at a controlled rate...
test and monitor any engine work you perform...
test decoder installs and operation...
program decoders in program track or ops mode...
depending upon how you create your hook up, you can run DC or DCC engines with the flip of a switch...
adjust your new Tsunami by Soundtraxx in ops mode and hear the changes as you make them in an "acoustically sound neutral zone" without trying to follow the engine around your test oval or layout...
problem solve mechanism binds, electrical shorts, wobbles and a host of other problems found in model engines especially brass...
or
...how about just watching your favorite engine run...
