Kato Unitrack Curves

It's possible to combine Unitrack straight and curve sections to make up many radii. Here's a selection of what can be done.

And there's an MRH forum thread on Unitrack turnouts that is very interesting. I didn't know about the differences in power routing for the #4 and #6 turnouts. It's something to keep in mind.

Cornhill & Atherton - "The Wedding Cake"

This blog is going to cover my efforts to stop a helix looking like a wedding cake.

I am doomed to fail……………

However, my objective is to use every trick, tool and all advice given along the way, to minimize the visual problem that a helix presents.

A video by Michael Stokes on action at the Sue Lines, located in Shreveport, La. Great use of video, stills, rr sounds, and music.

Athearn RTR!

I have recently purchased two SW1500 RTR switchers, they are now DCC and run great (my first Athearn purchase).

There are a few opinions about the SW1000/1500's having different motors from the other RTR locos. I was considering a SD40-2 RTR dcc ready but I am reading a lot about Ready to REMOTOR or Rebuild, are they noisy? 

However the guy that owns the shop reckons they have the same motor as the sw1000/1500?

TRY FLEXBILL for your switching layouts

Hi  Just been reading about EXCEL programs for a switching layout and or a full blown RR . Anyways have you looked at FLEX-BILL  by: the LATE STEVE KARAS & LEE NICHOLS.  It works like a lot of you would like it to work..

Go to Lee's RR  UTAH COLORADO & WESTERN  he has trial versions. The full blown program is only $50 and there is a ton of reports and options included..     BILL P   SIGNALGUY
