The new Digitrax DCC system showed up and I'm still in the process of trying to get my layout established. What sequence has everyone found the easiest? I'm looking at a flat deck, I've layed out the track and I'm ironing all of the routes out but I can't picture how much room I'm going to...

I'm running Atlas code 100 track. I have seen bridge track that has the double rail on each side. Not sure what it is called. Does anyone know of a source for buying this type track to put over bridges? I didn't see any through Atlas. Thanks, Hook

Things are moving along. Stuff showing up every day. Just got word that the Digitrax DCC system shipped today. Placed my order today for the BLI Light 2-8-2. I need to get my layout figured out and get the track placement going. I have the deck done and set up some track and Squeak has been...

Not that I'm at the accessory point yet but that is my next line of thinking so I'll throw out a few questions (quite a few) in order to get started so I can start looking at what I need to study up on and what I need to start pricing. If I run some street lights, crossing gates, swimming pool...

I've been reading and calling and asking a lot of questions on starter DCC sets and I think I'm leaning toward the Digitrax Zephyr. I've talked with a guy at Loy's Toys about the size of my layout and what I plan on doing and he recommended a set up that includes the following. Deal includes...

I think I've decided on a 2-8-2. I'm looking at several and haven't made up my mind on how much I want to spend and if I want to attempt to put in the DCC decoder myself or just get it already DCC. I'm looking at the Broadway Limited with DCC and sound and I see the heavy and the light and...

Generally speaking what steam locomotives can I run on 18" radius corners and what diesel locomotives can I run? Or what should I avoid? Will a 2-8-2 run ok on 18". Thanks for any input. Hook

Getting ready to order my track and power supply and I'm totaly new to all this. As I have mentioned before I am going DCC. I used the RTS software to get an idea of how much track I need for the layout. What Atlas track should I go with, which is best. I layed it out in True-Track and 100...

Well it's been awhile since I posted and I have now completed the shack I built so I would have a place to put my layout. I'm ready for any advice, the shack is about 9' 6" X 11' 6" on the inside. I'm thinking of building the deck in an L shape down the 11 foot wall and across the 9 foot wall...

Just getting started. Actually spent the last week moving an old shed from down in my pasture up to the fence line along my yard so I can resotore it and turn it into a train station with an HO scale train set up. Still have a lot of work on the shed before I start but I thought I'd join a forum...
