After over 3 years, (since Aug 2005) I am getting back into my model railroad activities and back to reading and posting at the Gauge. I will begin planning the rebuilding of my layout that Katrina's rains ended. Water and layouts don't mix well. Spared portions of the layout have been stored vertically for years now so I guess I will start new and try to save some of the landscape elements. I am going to try to do DCC rather than the block system. Don't know anything about DCC, any suggested books to read up on the basics?My return to the Gauge

As for dcc to me its the greatest thing since sliced bread. Yet i have the old atlas system that works for me for now im looking to get the MRC2. All in all its worth the investment:thumb:
Fantastic!! Glad you made it through and decided to stay in the hobby!! Take a peek in at our DCC forum, there's great information and tons of help there:
