The new DH123 is $16 postpaid from Lithcfield Station. You're up to $400, total, if you do it all at once. We don't do much in this hobby "all at once" do we? I'm not saying everyone should have DCC. But for a modeler who really likes to run his trains and spends time and some money on the...

Ed, You are probably "right-on" with some of your comments. Business is generally (and that's a little weak) about money and that distracts a lot of folks from the good things that businesses can do. As far as getting into DCC, you can get a very good "entry-level" system (you may never...

Bonky-man, These guys are here to help us. I'm sure that you have noticed how they OOh and AAh over the posts that we new-guys place out here and tell us how great we're doing. All you have to do is look at their work to realize that they are really trying to encourage us, because they've...

Ditto. How much time does it take, Shamus?

Wow! :)

Before breakfast, and maybe even coffee, you log on to the Forums.

Good lord!...I mean to say...good lord!:eek: You're a MR "Renaissance" man. Thanks,

Yes, Rusted, I think that you are the only person in the whole world that has purchased the MRC system. ;) Every one else has Digitrax...or maybe Lenz...or...you know the story. :p I use the sometimes maligned Atlas system, but I would like to hear what you have to say about the MRC...

Someone recently pointed the Atlas forum to this site: http://www.iespell.com You can install a nifty spell-checker onto your browser and use it for postings like these and whatever. It saves me (or maybe I should say "those who have to read my posts" from my poor spelling and...

You're right about the prices, of course. I payed about $10 for the set at a clearance sale, but that was 20 years ago. Bobbye Hall's in Dallas, I think.

"The Academy" That is good stuff! I think that it's grand that you folks who have accomplished so much take time to share it with us "newbies". Thanks,

Super! Only a year? I guess that gives me about a week to start and finish my scenery! :eek: So...Where's Thomas? Oh, I remember. He's on my layout. :p Thanks for the look,

Thanks for the replies and the links! I'm not sure what I want to do with the little guy yet. Here's a good link from the Atlas forum. http://www.reynaulds.com/roco/hoe.html Check out those prices! Maybe I ought to sell it on eBay.;)

Hi y'all, I've got an HO Roco mine train that runs on N track. I have been thinking about adding it to my layout at some point. I bought this thing about 20 years ago and it's still in the box. It has a Plymouth diesel, I think it's a Plymouth, and I'd like to get the steam engine that's...

Great stuff! What's the "Academy"? Thanks,

Thanks guys. Uteram, where are those pictures? I'd like to see them. I've been at this layout for about 8 mos, but have liked trains forever, I guess. The trestle is the Heljan plastic kit. The instructions are really poor but the kit has a lot of potential for different kinds of...

Yes, the RGS is the "inspiration" but I'm afraid it's not going to be very prototypical: Standard HO, not narrow guage and I really don't know much about the mining and logging industries. But there is a lot to draw upon in these forums. It'll be fun trying to make it look good and fun to...

HI folks! This is my first post on the Guage and I'm pretty new at this (about a year). You've got a lot of good stuff here. Well, the Highline trestle is finally open for operation. Construction has made a major turning loop unavailable for some weeks now, but at last the bridge is open...
