Garage layout - input requested

 

Hi

I have a garage that has converted into a hobby room where I am going to build my home N-scale layout. I have made a draft layout and need your input.

Reason for being

An imaginary cross line connecting two bigger companies e.g. N&W and B&O providing a shortcut.

Several industries along the line

Major interest

Switching

Fascination for boxcars in long parallel rows

Sound Editors?

Just thought I'd throw this out there as there are a number of you that do sound editing.  So what do you use to edit your sound files and compile it into a "soundtrack?"  I used a couple packages years ago, but haven't done much in about 10 years, so I thought I'd see what people suggest.  And if its inexpensive, all the better.  Thanks.

(I'm currently following a line of research using the Shift Registers, but there is an easier way to do this with just a Launchpad alone.) It can be easily adapted for many uses. Examples include, but not limited to:

1:24 Model of a Whelen Liberty (44") Lightbar

Well, the last lightbar was a1-24 Model of a Whelen Liberty lightbar technical success that met with an unfortunate fate when it shifted inside it's resin cast. Really, it is a shame because I was very happy with it. But with every failure comes knowledge and lessons learned, so I am moving on without too much angst.
