I wanted to introduce you to something I stumbled upon a few years ago while looking for a better way to control and operate my DC layout. 

After a bit of a break from model railroading. I'm starting to think about renewing my interest in it. Now that I have finished playing around with  a car that I bought last year and brought it up to where I'm happy with it. I can start to focus on enjoying this hobby again.

I have downgraded my space to 14x12. with room to re install a 30" helix from my last layout that I saved.

Givens.

Another project for the club, exactly what it need another convenience store. If its prototype, well who can argue with reality...

I am soon to take possession of a 20’ x 20’ fully finished train room with a house attached to it, so planning a new layout has begun, and I'm interested in the community's constructive comments. The next post shows a floorplan of the space.

The Daylight Division of the Pacific Coast Region of the NMRA, Inc. looks forward to hosting you at our Fresno convention Sugar Pine Centennial 2021—a free, virtual, on-line, one-day event on Saturday, April 24, 2021.  The convention web page is http://www.pcrnmra.org/conv2021/.

I would like to share some info that I just became aware of, specifically regarding servo timing.
This is not quite my "normal" blog article, but I think it affects too many of my projects, so I include it here.

Hi all,

Finally managed to get some pictures of my layout posted. I've done a lot of work on it over the last few (even if it doesn't seem so!)

My industrial area to the right side of the layout is essentially just flat ground at the moment, with the plan being to build a cement/aggregate plant loosley based on some reference pictures of a local plant... could be interesting. The foundations are down and I'm quite happy with how it looks at the moment with some of the security fences in place.  

Ireland is not only the Green Isle but the EMD Isle as well.  If you are interested in modelling passenger operations and short freights this might be a good candidate.
