:cry: I like soldering sign1 Thanks for pointing me at Radio shack! DUH! :oops:

Molex is still 10 + connections I would have to keep sorted out unless they make a BIG one :) This requires no solder http://www.emtel.com/images/products/15-m40f.JPG I'll have to see about 40 conductor ribbon that can handle 1500mA just in case. I could double up and pair 2 wires for one...

I am building a small layout with 8 separately powered sections and 8 switches. I am considering how to build a control panel. Since it is a small layout I'd like to be able to disconnect it for relocation. The thought I was having was to use IDE (hard drive) cable and connectors as a bus...

My wife got me a nice loco for my birthday and I cannot find information about the erra or the line, can someone help me with the research?:wave:

AT LAST I had some free time again this weekend. Got a little bit of work.

very very cool!

ok... I added 1x6" planks for a cleaner look than the 1x4 would have given. I also prewired the underside. I've got to come up with a design for the control board and somehow fit the tech4 dual cab controller on it. Ideas/links?

Using the projector made drawing the trackk SO EASY! It took maybe three minutes at most. Beat the heck out of what I thought I was going to be doing, measuring and protractoring... Jasbourre - excellent point and I WAS worried about it, I am going to frame the foam in with 1x4 planks...

So today I built the board and glued two layers of 1/2" foam to it. Then I traced my layout onto the board using my laptop and a projector that I built. It was projected to (almost) exact scale, which took some tweaking :D

Thanks, I made some changes to stretch out the grading and removed switches from the back to avoid problems. no construction has been done yet so I will grade the blue down while the yellow goes up. I ordered some 4% grade foam from WS last night. Time to start cutting wood.

I guess this should be moved to the N&Z section?

Hey folks, short history on me, did a model in the mid 1980's and still have my engines and cars. Now my son is 7 and I think this is something he will enjoy. We are VERY limited on space. I have a shed/workshop and using the atlas software came up with something I THINK will work for us in...
