I decided to look up on ebay DCC in the HO category, I have found two DCC and sound for one of them for under ten dollars sellers have positive feedback but is this all a trick? I can't pass them up so am trying but has anyone tried lookign up something expensive and trying high to low really is some good stuff.

I am working on and thinking about scratchbuilding a turntable I have a plan that may work but the backup is going with the atlas style with a wood-plank overlay my question is would this be prototypical for a 60-70's era santa fe branchline engine terminal or would it  look out of place? I don't start building yet but wnt to plan as much as possible.

I have had more time to have the Trains magazine Rochelle webcam up now and one useful thing I would like to have while doing this is the radio stream going with it. I have the code for that division area but can't seem any sites that stream it is it possible or do I need to invest in a scanner to do it? The code I found is: WQOA993 

Over the weekend I saw that seemed to be one of the Alco C or RS unit family engines as one of the three lead units on a BNSF freight. It was in the yellow and red scheme but logo was not of UP or recognizable to me. It has a low rounded short hood and a high long hood. This was part of a long mixed freight and was in the Chicago Illinois area. Any ideas on what I really saw and if there were any photos of the one I saw?

I am thinking about using operating signals on my layout and was wondering where a good cheap source of small LED's would be. I know the SMLED's are smallest and so would probably work best but TCS's seem overpriced ($51 for 10) and I can't seem to find the right keyword for search. So where do you find yours and what is a good source?

I am onto my next 3d printed project some signals, so far I have the signal head and base completed then working on the pole now.

These are both made in Autocad Inventor and if anyone has sugestions I would like to hear them.

Saw this on another forum is pretty well done and fun:

Photos of the first part of my future (or current I guess now) layout. It is microengineering and atlas track on a foam bed and is 1'x7'

Let's start a new Holiday tradition here on MRH show your holiday or tree set ups here on this thread!

I have put aside one of my 1'x7' sections of my layout for a yard. What would be a good setup that would allow as many tracks with as much length as possible while still being double ended? If possible I would also like a small engine storage area and this may be stretching room for the small atlas turntable (all I can afford). The switches can but right up against the edge of the section as more tracks will continue away from it. I look forward to any ideas as I am hoping to buy any extra switches and flextrack I will need and lay track this weekend.
