John, My Peco code 100 turnouts look like they are wired identically to the code 83. I use DCC and get shorts. Obviously, it's not from the points. I've ...

Andy, how far along are you on your layout and when will we be seeing it? I've seen benchwork pictures and I am sure it will be a work of art but when? BTW I...
