Does anybody know if The Middle Tenneessee Model Railroaders are still in existence? Ran into a "Tenneessee Crossroads" video on them and haven't been able to find anything else. I got to operate on Mark Juett's set -up for a couple hours and been wanting to run on something with true dispatcher controlled CTC Ever Since.

Hello everybody, back with another question. So the large layout I work on inFayetteville, I post updates every now and then, has gotten to the point with rewiring that I am starting to plan out the signal system Electronics needed in detail. I've already decided to go with Dick Bronson's components but Nolan - the layout owner - has given me the condition that we have to use up his massive stockpile of Atlas switch control boxes and switch machines.

So, apologies for this being an extra month behind - life I guess. On a serious not though, there are some rather interesting things to look at this time around including a mini milestone if you will with the subroadbed wrapping it's way around the peninsula. Yay!! Also, I would like to note that I am going ahead and moving the layout updates to a bi-monthly format. This change is partially because of life, but also to leave more time for editing other content. As always, thanks for watching and mash that subscribe button!!

so, I can't seem to find anything on this so I'll just go ahead and ask. I'm getting ready to work on tracking the track centerlines for the other side of the peninsula including the coal mine and was wondering how often mines would have a track for bringing in heavy equipment or mining machinery? I know having just an extra spur for whatever general supplies was a thing, as well as it being a place for switcher crews to temporarily put cars while they were switching the mine. Wanting to lay this all out right so I can model the winches and interior details along with it.

Hey guys, so in the ongoing quest to add signaling to Nolan's layout we're to the point that I'm starting to work on the first control panel. Nolan's wanting to reuse his Atlas switch control boxes, despite my efforts to explain that they probably won't interface with turnout decodes like the DS64 or the Team Digital electronics we're going to use. Thus, that leads me to the question of whether you could put DC current through the atlas switch control box.
