With the layout progressing quite well, old time logging theme, I am now at the point of seriously considering going to DCC in purchasing a digitrax system. On the layout I have several hand made turnouts that work good and have had no problems on a DC system. My question is: can they be used...

All I have room for is 18" inch curves for what I want to build in the space that I am building my logging rr, things work fine on it and I think it looks good, of course I would like to have 24" plus curves but I just have to work with what space I have available..Ron..

Hi Chris, welcome to the west coast, lots to do and see as your friend will show you, don't forget about the RR museum in Squamish (thats the real ones) even if you have time to drive up and look around from the parking lot, it is well worth the visit. Several hobby shops to visit, of course...

I agree Robin, here in B.C. (west coast of Canada) we use to have a large mainline railroad called the British Columbia Railway owned by the Provincial BC Government. In their poor judgement they sold it to CN rail. There is a town called Squamish just north of Vancouver BC where BCR was the...

13mt. if you do not wish to try handlay your track, a little trick that i saw a fellow modeler do is take a length of flex track, cut out most of all the little tabs, on the bottom, that connect the ties. He uses a dremel tool but with time and patients a razor saw could do, remember, SAFTY...
