Any advice on wiring and prepping a code 70 Shinohara 3-way switch for DCC use?  A wiring diagram/instructions  would be particularly appreciated.

Hi everybody

I'd like to build a little layout to represent a New York pier but unfortunately the car float and the apron car float by Walthers are retired; so, I'm looking for plans or drawings or pictures and I will try to scratchbuild them. Can somebody give me a little help?

thanks a lot for your attention!!!!

I will be hand laying all of my rail (I enjoy the process) and years ago used Homasote for my roadbed. I have read the thread on using homasote and gained good advice. However, only one place in Reno seems to handle homasote and they only want to sell to contractors. In the homasote thread, a product called fiberock was mentioned and I wonder if it has worked for anyone.

So my question is what would you recommend for roadbed when hand laying rail?

Thanks,

Gary

I'm a widower (with all grown children) who will be moving someday.  Eventually, I hope to build a fairly substantial permanent railroad that balances passenger and freight service in the heavily traveled Northeast region.  This is my second attempt to get back into model railroading after decades of absence.  (First effort was a port-themed section of the larger vision designed professionally.
