Either operator or equipment error is all I can figure. After two tries, my static grass is not standing up. I am using the following:

1. Grass applicator from Micro-Mark with 2 D-cell batteries (brand new) with a strainer type screen.

2. Enlarged the holes with a hat pin and have good flow when "tapping" the plastic arm.

3. Using a finishing nail as a ground into the cork or foam area to be applied.

4. Using Woodland Scenics static grass flocking material.

I was hoping to get some input on a small switching layout that I am currently designing for myself. I have previously planned and started building a 4X8 that I had to dismantle due to my wife and I expecting our second child; the train-room must be returned to a bedroom and the railroad equipment is in boxes. Although I no longer have a space to setup some sort of permanent layout, I wanted to start planning “the next one”. I started reading more and more about modular railroading and I was intrigued.

Ok railroad fans, starting next week I will be downsizing my engine and rolling stock roster of both DC and DCC items. BEFORE I put things on eBay, i will provide a list so interested parties can contact me.

Hey everybody thanks for clicking this topic if you're reading this I really appreciate it and hope to hear some pros and cons or just whatever opinions you guys may have on DCC SYSTEMS
