I have Parallels on my macBookPro and it runs fine with 2GB of memory install. Keep in mind, that along with the application Parallels itself, you will need a licensed copy of Windows XP Service Pack 2 also to install onto your virtual computer. If you want to go the way of Linux. you can...

A little info on the DAC10 & SIGM20. After researching various hardware and software options for controlling turnouts and signals, I settled on using CML Electronics' DAC10 and SIGM20 components. The DAC10 is a 8 turnout DCC decorder card. It can control "snap" type switches, along with...

I'm going to be using the 66 punch down blocks. 4 Wires from the Tortoise (Via 4pair RJ11) with terminate to one side of the block. 3 Wires then go to the DAC10 Turnout controller. 2 wires to the turnout terminals, and 1 wire into an input terminal (for feedback). The remaining wire will...

No Nascar for me. I'm more of a Formula One (Formula UH Ricky Bobby!). But I'm sure I'll get a little Model RR in here and there :)

My layout is in my office. It may look like it's a dedicated train room cause of all the stuff on the desk and models in progress on the bench, but I really do other things in here :) At least that's my argument to the wife that it's an "office" and not a "Train room". :mrgreen: Here's a...

Thanks! :)

Just a little update. Since the last the posting, I received my first DAC10 turnout controller from CML Electronics. It's a pretty sweet DCC controller. I got one tortoise hooked up so. I'll post more pictures showing how I used RJ11 (telephone) cable and punchdown blocks to hook them up once I...

I wanted a continuous run layout, but cause of the restraints of a 3 wall shelf layout like you I got stuck with a point to point. I did however make it a 2 level shelf layout to expand my mainline length to at least get a little more "running room". I eventually grew on to the idea of having...

Been using Digitrax products (super chief and zephyr) and never had any problems. Never had any problems with either one.

The siding track at the GERN facility is now in place from west turnout on. The East turnout will be installed soon. I really like using the Latex Caulk for gluing down track. Once you lay down a thin layer of the stuff, it's got good holding strength. It'll hold down flex track on...

Thanks for feedback everyone. I've decided to go with tortoise powered turnouts. I recently installed one using the tortoise remote mount accessory and discovered it's capable of guiding up the throwing wire through 1.5-2" of foam with no problem. It'll make the installs much easier now.

Got the Mainline and Siding at the GERN facility installed from the West turnout on. East turnout needs installing still.

I placed an order with this site last week, and never heard anything since. I sent an email asking about the order status and got the auto-reply. "Hello, Thanks for contacting TexNrails. We are out of town at the Amhearst and Timonium Train Shows and will return on March 6th. We will be...

That's weird. My server showed my gallery.sodh.net subdomain as not actually setup, yet it still worked. <shrug> I reset the entry so hopefully that'll fix the images. EDIT: Reset didn't go through. lemme contact my hoster to fix the the issue on the backend.

That's really wierd. It's been happening more often lately. I never have a problem with them either so it's hard to trouble shoot. Lemme see....

Digitrax BDL168 Installed This weekend I got my new Digitrax BDL168 installed. The BDL168 is a occupancy detector unit for monitoring 16 blocks. This unit will work in conjunction with the Signal Logic programming for operating signals in the future. All of my layout electronics will...
