Hey thanks for the links CN1. That is terrific stuff. Boy seeing some of those Phila. Trollys takes me back. I remember riding the Trolly With my Grandfather from Phila to out in the suburbs where we lived. That was back in the 50's. I swear some day I got to setup something Traction Wise on my...

Hey thanks guys. I have a Mantua also. the same question was bugging me. Thanks for the answer. I get confused with the terminology too. But every body here is so helpful. Its just a matter of asking. My next question is about installing a DCC decoder in a Mantua. Heard something about isolating...

Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy New Year! Robt.

Geez Scott, that brings back memories, kinda!!!. I know what you mean. So we gotta be from the same " long hair generation". I saw them too. My favorite though was the Band. You know --Pulled into Nazarith---! Robt.

Kriss thanks for the imput on the auto reverse module. Sounds like the way to go. I'll work that into my budget. I don't have a reversing loop on my plan but since you said that I'm giving that some thought. Gary, I was thinking of the DT300 I don't think I'd want the radio. This layout is...

Ahhh! another valued opinion! Kris and Gary thank you for your opinions. Both very valid points. I'm a luckey guy to have this kind of imput. Decisions, Decisions. I'm going to think about this. Me being new to this, I must say the smart thing to do is go with the click, click,click done...

Thanks Kris for the info. The LS150 Decoder looks like a pretty good unit. Guess I have to make some decisions here. Ugh. hate doing that. I'm usually wrong. Hehe. I think I'll go for throwing the switches from the control panel. ( unless somebody twists my arm not to do it. Robt.

Thanks for the imput Robin. Yeah I thought about that (as I was struggling through the book that came with my DCC) By not having any experience with this I'd like to get suggestions from you fellas on what everybody's using. Hoping for more imput. Robt.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't to clear on it. ( state of confused is my life.) I wanted to know if it's better to operate the switches in the yard on DCC or if it is better to operate with a control panel and switches. I thought it would be better to have the traditional control panel with physical...

Hi fellas, new to the forum. I'm starting my Layout. I have the Digitrax Zepher, and I'm a little lost here. I'd like to know the best way to wire my switches in my yard. It seems like a pile of switches to figure out. After I get this, I guess I move on to the control panel? Any help on this...

Hi fellas, Hope this is the right place to put this question. I want to know, which track to use. My local train shop has turnouts by Peco, Walthers,Atlas and others---? After those I stop looking.
