WOW, Are you sure that's a model rr layout? It looks too real for a model RR. -richie ... From: ldsig@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ldsig@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf...
Back in the DC days, many CAB control layouts used an East-West switch as a second reversing switch. This was to allow the the throttle's forward-reverse...
Nope, Andy -- with DCC you don't worry much about track polarity, especially with the autoreversing sensing boosters out there. The cool thing is a DCC loco...
Joe, I'm OK with the DC/DCC technology differences. This is only about the few US double track layout scenarios. I was just curious if anyone had found any...
Lance, Excellent work. Your modeling of the grass, trash, canal, and the rest are great! Keep up the great work, and keep sharing the images. Creston ...
... Andy: You bet- perhaps for reasons that few of us appreciate, so I won't belabor the issue except to say I don't believe in deliberate short circuits. The...
On my previous layout I initually used DPDT switchesw for reverse loops, theym worked well but you had to be nearby to throw the DPDT while the train was in...

I'm sure the CSX crew that works the prototype would agree Chris - about the dull part :) Seriously, I did just copy the track arrangement that presently...
Well here we go, a classic example of compressing the prototype exactly into our highly limited layout space may not yield the greatest operating interest....
