G'day everyone!!! The other day, when i started a new layout, i was wondering where does everyone keep there layout. Coming from a very sparsely populated country, in a rural area, we have very large yards. (no, not that sort of yardsign1) so instead of a basement, we have sheds in the...

You can ajust the speed setting with dcc, but dont ask me. I can tell you what your problem is. Each brand of loco runs differnt. My Atlas starts alot slower than my Athearn. So, if they are of different brands they may run diffrent for that reason. Also, each production run may have different...

I will. I made much progress over the weekend on my new layout. I'll post pics after school.

Well, to me, the US is foreign. But, yes, I'll railfan anything.

about the same, by the time it reaches me (remember, it has the pacific ocean to cross

Yeah, though some of the older areas are looking a bit dull anyway, this afternoon, i'm starting a new layout. got the track ready for start at 4-5:30 pm our time. Alex

you mean for the BS idea? It looks pretty much like the old BN logo, only with the N substituted by a S.sign1sign1sign1 btw, yes, i know the feeling of expensive stuff.

Burllington Northern. As a joke, i am going to make a railroad called "Burlington Southern". Why BN, and not something Australian? because i'll not pay 245 aus for a loco, when i can get a perfecly good Atlas for up to 150 less, and also because i got a BN loco for free.

Thanks, all your comments mean a lot to me

Layout progress seems to have stalled. I'm just too busy with school stuff, and i just wanted to say that i've not forgotten you guys. Alex EDIT: I'm also starting a new layout. I'll keep you updated

OK, so i am back. I came back with a Bachmann trolley. It runs good. I like it. So, i'm just having fun at the moment. It'll be a little while untill i get some more photos

Thanks for the good feedback. I have certainly learned that it is never finished. Anyway, i'm not going to be able to report back to you for about week, i'm going to Sydney for a few days. Have fun!!!!! Alex

yeah, i know, you can never keep your choices the same!!!!

As per my policy of changing my mind every 5 minutes, the Caboose track is now a track leading to the sawmill. So, after converting it to the sawmill track, i decided to show you my work. as with all my photos, lighting is an issue...

Thanks for your help. I know people who use the Lenz system, but its too expensive, and really overkill for what i need. That price i gave you is the first one i got. I'll have a closer look when i go to Sydney sometime soon. Thanks for your help Alex

Hi, I'm thinking of taking the jump to DCC, but, dont know which system to buy. I can get the NCE system for $265 AUD, or the Digitrax for $340 AUD.. I'm kinda stuck as to which system i should choose, I have heard good things about the NCE system, but, i like the look and feel of the Digitrax...

Another update on my trains The corner of my layout near the caboose track, was one of my first attempts at scenery, so its not up to the standard of everything else. I have a saying when it comes to trains, (as opposed to school), if a job is worth doing, its worth doing properly. So what did i...
