I just got the MRC Prodigy Advance DCC System and so far it seems to do what I needed it to do. Since I am just new to DCC I have nothing to compare it too, however it is really nice and I am looking forward to many years of DCC fun on my small railroad. I also just received my Broadway Limited...

I used to live in Shalimar and was a member of this club. It has changed alot since I lived there. They have a website which shows the old layout as well as the new...check it out. http://www.geocities.com/miraclestriprrclub Regards,

Morning all, Finally...yesterday I got my flextrack order! So this afternoon, after work I will be replacing that bad section of track (WooHoo). Hopefully this will solve my derailment problem. Thanks for all the suggestions and ideas you all have given. It has been greatly appreciated...

Answers to your questions... Thanks for your questions about my problem. Regards,

I temporarily hooked up my MRC Prodigy Advance DCC system (in 1 place only) to my mainline with 22 gauge wire to a curved terminal section of atlas track attached to the end of a siding just to check things out. To my amazement my Atlas engine responded perfectly. However my Broadway Limited...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will be checking out all the ideas suggested. I'm still waiting for my flextrack order from Standard Hobby Supply! It seems that they were moving into larger space and nothing shipped until yesterday. Had I known that I would have ordered from someplace...

Will be replacing used track with new... Morning all, It's not the engine that derails but the rolling stock that follows it. I agree that it may be out of gauge. I checked it with my NMRA gauge and it seems a might tight on the bend. I have been using my used track from my previous layout...

I just heard from MRC about the Prodigy Advance System... I just heard from MRC about their Prodigy Advance System and my inquiry about computer control possibilities. They have no plans to do anything about it. :( However, they did refer me to a outside company that is currently working...

I got a couple of emails, from folks, on this also besides your response. Thanks again,

Found the bus I was looking for... Thanks all...I found this at this website http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/ihc/ihc911.htm in case anyone else is looking for 1940's type school buses. Regards,

Looking for a 1950's School Bus for my layout. Any ideas who makes one or where I can buy one? Thanks,

More info... I am using flextrack and it is coming into a turnout however the cars seem to derail a couple of inches prior to the junction at slow speed. They seem to do better if the throttle is faster. I will have to check the track spacing with my NMRA gauge when I get home. The engine...

Hi Ya'll, Well I finally have the mainline laid on my layout and all is working well with the exception of 1 spot. When the train runs clockwise there is no problem...when the train runs counter clockwise I have one spot where I get a derailment. Engine only...no problem but with cars it...

Broadway Limited...I think... Since I just ordered my first Broadway Limited Steam Locomotive but haven't received it yet, I think this will end up being my favorite :D from everything I've read and heard from fellow model railroaders. I can't wait to see and hear it operate on my DCC layout...

Thanks for the info...It downloaded for me this time and will be checking it out. Regards,

This software works with several systems, but one thing you will definitely need is a way to connect your computer to your DCC system. I use Lenz and they have an interface that costs about $40. Others have similar devices, I believe. Also, note that in order to do "routing" as you describe it...

I was wondering if by using DCC to run trains and turnouts if you can pre-program the trains to run certain scenerios so that they can run all by themselves...starting and stopping, changing turnouts, waiting for a few moments and then continuing? :confused: This would be nice when guests...

Well I broke down and ordered a Broadway Limited J1e 4-6-4 for my railroad. Tony's Train Exchange has many engines on sale and I figured for $211 bucks I could'nt go wrong. Now all I have to do is finish laying the track on my layout. I have about 1/4 of it done so far but have not started...

Guys, I really like this unit...it runs well and looks awesome... but maybe I should send it out to have this unit converted to DCC with sound. I guess leaving it to a professionals would be the wisest choice. Any suggestions on anyone who does this work? Recommendations are welcomed. Regards,

In the past for DC operations, the 22 gauge wire worked fine, and yes I did have multiple points of power through out my old layout however on my new layout I am going DCC (and can't wait to try it out). The problem I have is very little under layout access since the layout in built on top of...
