    Rock Island Model Rosters

    Just had an afterthought.... My diesel repair facility is huge... 9 tracks wide and at least 17 feet long (not counting the MOW yard and facilities)... So I am STILL going to need dummies for that area. So, I guess I will concentrate on two fronts: Operational units Diesel Repair...

    Rock Island Model Rosters

    Thanks Gary and George, Don't go getting all upset, but I was actually looking at an Atlas/Lenz set instead. I was told I could run 99 different locos with the Atlas Commander. They (Atlas) also recommended LENZ decoders that I could easily install into my Athearns. I think you guys...

    I am considering DCC. I was all for DCB til I found out it cannot control the trains like DCC can. If you could integrate the two together, I would be all for it. So with the MU capability, I guess that does away with the need for dummy units. I wonder if this would work for Athearns...not...

    Rock Island Model Rosters

    I read somewhere where the Rock cannot possibly make a comeback, because some company that they used to service bought the line's name, and refuses to let it be used. That is why the group here in Missouri CANNOT use the Rock's name for the railroad they are reconstructing on the old Rock...
