Reply to "Oscilloscope for DCS and other signals for a beginner"

@PRRMP54 This was the '90s, long before smartphones or digital cameras.  My dad's scope was even older, probably from the 1960s, and as far as I know, didn't have the ability to capture or store waveforms.  So my "data" consisted of handwritten notes in a bound copybook, and maybe crude sketches?  I must have at least two dozen of those copybooks.  Unfortunately most of them aren't dated.

What I do remember is that the Hogger ran my postwar Lionels ran very smoothly.  It didn't do anything to improve the performance of what were then-current production Lionels: train set 4-4-2's, 2-6-4's and diesels with the walnut-sized can motors in the trucks.  Chopping a waveform that's already being chopped, and then feeding it to a cut-rate 3-pole motor geared for 200 mph isn't a recipe for scale operation!
