Research on which DCC system to install
I'm looking at several DCC systems to utilize on a 12 X 23 foot layout. I'm leaning toward CVP products. Anyone here know of a downside to these products? Appreciate your input. Thanks!
Does anyone else think this is ridiculous??
I just received an email saying that my MR Digital Edition for September is now available for download... Seriously? It's July 20th...
Come on folks, get with it...

Workin' On The Railroad
Turnouts have been delivered and have be temporarily set in place. Have to determine the critical switch for installation so the rest of the trackwork will fall into place. One of the guys from the local club will be over on Tuesday to help with advice on wiring, track laying etc.

I'll use this blog to show scenes from the layout, unfinished as it is, along with various scenery projects.

Faller Fair kits evaluation
I recently completed a Fair area on my little trolley layout (not so little anymore). My Fair area is comprised of all Faller Fair kits. The kits I got were the roller coaster, the shooting gallery, the orange juice stand, the swinging boats ride, and a couple of other stands. All total it was 9 structures.

N-Scale camera for layout trip wanted
I'm looking for a camera that can be used in N-Scale. I've see one so far and it looks like a thumb drive. But the instructions are so bad I could barely figure it out - then it quit working. "Wait for the earthquake" was one translation!
Anyway, can anyone recommend decent cameras of the proper size? And where to get them?
Ruphe Radial Railway, Inaugural Run plus some street photos
I've been working on the streets in the city of Ruphe and one of those streets will have a streetcar running over it. I figured it would be a lot easier to lay the tracks first and finish the street around it rather than trying to chisel in the rail afterward. You may laugh at that statement, but when I get into a project I tend to get impatient and frequently end up hitching the horse to the back of the cart!
CVT tie strips
I'm sure some have used them or else they wouldn't be offered. Not talking about turnouts, nor the kits, but the strips themselves. I recently bought a bunch for my expansion, and some rail, then the thought occurred to me today......er ah um, and just why exactly didn't you just use flex?
......well, in any event, I got a bunch of CVT tie strips coming and I know I'll use them. Any left-overs can easily be used for an outdoor sunlit diorama for photos and stuff.
