What a great day! The "Greater Nickel Plate" lives - - we have a DCC power pack and controller; DCC decoders for the engines; track; power cleaner for engine wheels; new Nickel Plate Society Magazines to read; a new Nickel Plate T-Shirt for my birthday (Thank you, Peggy); and an assortment of other goodies I needed to work on the railroad.

This is why I like this web site so much. . . . good information led to good choices at the Timonium, MD Train Show received from several blogs I posted. Your answers got me the right stuff AND SAVED ME $$$$!!! i got a great deal on an NCE system (saving over $200); decoders for all my switch engines and helpful instructions to complete my tracklaying and wiring efforts.

I even saved enough for a small libation or two - - if you're in the Carlisle, PA area, drop me a line; see the railroad and enjoy a wee bit o' the nectar. . . LOL!
