Hi Eddie, We meet again. :cool: There is some great stuff on this forum. Check out the "Academy" for some super how-to information. These guys are real encouragers too, not that you need it. ;) Later,

Eric, I cut down a yard stick and put a nail at the arc center point and drilled small holes for a pencil at various radius points.

Michael, I'm sorry to hear about the troubles at Bonkyrail.:( I've been through the job thing a couple of times and I know it's very stressful when you have a family to support. My family will be praying for the best for you and your family. And to top is all off you've got that...

Vic, My wife and I will count it a privilege to pray for your mother and your family. For comfort, recovery, grace and God's will. Our moms are both 89. Thanks for asking. Rom. 8:28,

Digitrax sells harnesses with 8-pin plugs. I don't know if they fit MRC decoders. :)

Good link! Thanks,

The MRC Dual pack costs almost as much as an entry-level MRC or Atlas DCC system. If you want to run 2 (or more) trains on the same track definitely go with DCC, especially for a 5-yr-old. DCC is definitely simpler in any situation, except running one train at a time. If you plan to have...

Nice work! You could be a boat builder. How are the legs working out? The "contours" of my layout are built of 1/2" blue styrofoam on edge (mostly). It was very easy to cut and shape and like you say almost "mess-less". The sub-roadbed is also 1/2" blue styrofoam using the...

I say a bumper sticker that said: ANY DCC IS BETTER THAN NO DCC! Not really, but I think it's true. All systems are great compared to the alternative (For folks that want DCC...This is NOT a slam on DC). :eek: You know...it is hard to say anything right about this topic. Enjoy your...

So fine! :) ;) :cool: :D

Just say "I'm just this side of 40." Happy birthday! :)

:eek: Does it never end? Thanks, Shamus. Look forward to your photos every day. :)

I think I'd like to be there. :)

Shamus, I look at scenes like this and then I have to go home and look at my plywood and foam! :confused: But thanks anyway. Your work always looks great. I've gotta get started on that scenery, at least some tan latex. :eek:

Big Government, you gotta love it!:rolleyes:

Thanks! I was a bit sick yesterday, but I received this card from my granddaughters and it cheered me right up: Life is like a mountain railroad, With an engineer that's brave; We must make the run successful From the cradle to the grave. Watch the curves...

Cool! :cool: So where's that track plan? The 3-d one. :)

Great! We'll be lookin' fer it. :D

Hey! What's this doing under "Track Planning"? I've been replying to my email subscription without even noticing where the post started. :confused: Your right! Let's all have fun and be thankful that we can. :) :D :eek: ;) :p Have a good weekend (and life),

Paul and Vic, I agree that not everyone can afford DCC. I'm not sure I can afford model railroading sometimes. So I'm not trying to push DCC onto anyone who doesn't want it and especially anyone who can't afford it. (By the way, our "tax freedom day" was in May last year, Britain had...
