Dear Jim, Just saw what is apprently the 3rd episode of Discovery Channel's "Prototype this", called "Traffic Busting Truck". Apart from being interesting for...
Dear Professor, That rig reminds me of the old machines I used to watch hauling stacks of wood at the local lumber yard... seems like some of them could even...
You're in good hands and you're right . . . with LED's there is no reason solar system can't handle an outdoor sound and display. I have only been to...

Is the SurroundTraxx unit available yet? The info on on their web site sell sheet now says "Available Spring 2009". Used to say Spring 2008. What gives? Has...
Hey Sean, Last I heard they were shipping in December:). I believe Bob G. had ordered one for his outdoor railway... didn't hear if it arrived. You're likely...
Thanks! I have read some of Bob G. writings on the unit but it all appeard to before he had one in hand. Wonder if he has one and if he has any new comments...
Hey Sean, Yhea, I wouldn't put anything past Bob G., he's scarey good:)! You're right, he was 'speculating', but his speculation is usually better than a lot...
Maybe we can draw Bob G out if we keep talking. (grin) So, even though it has the capabilities of using transponding, I am sort of a loan railroader in my...
Yo-- Sorry I haven't answered this before, but I was on the wrong machines. Also, you have been getting lots of good advice. Open-collector means that the item...
Hey Sean, Bob comes and goes:). As far as I know, Surroundtraxx doesn't work unless you have transponding working (I think I'm right about that). You could use...
Jim, I am pretty sure I read that it could use a single speaker (system) and just produce sound that does not follow the engine (for smaller layouts). It was...
Hey Sean, I misunderstood your intent... you're RIGHT! You CAN use it as a stationary sound source... indeed it should work great that way. You don't need to...

Dear Professor, Very clever and thoughtful. I knew it was about sharing... and not selling:)! I thought about getting an Anvil Road briefcase and rigging it...
Jim, Thanks! I also found the document I was looking for. It is a nice PDF file and what I was looking for is the first "mode of operation" listed. ...
Hey all, and the Professor, A nice fellow asked me about extracting and converting to wave... I pointed him to the Professor's pdf, he went to AudioGrabber and...
Hey Sean, It will create up to six engines at any one time. That's for sure:). Especially since you will not be asking it to steer the sound around your...

Hey Matt, Very good! Thank you. I'll pass this along. Express rip looks very nifty. If I'm reading it right its open source? Kind of like JMRI, and on...
Dear Jim, I may need to update the links. Audiograbber 1.8.3 is the latest version, and is totally free. 1.8.3 was released once the Adaptec Legal clause...
Was reading my latest copy of Garden Railways and think that this article of interest was the very last article of the magazine in the product review section....
