Brass vs. Plastic
Years ago the disparity in prices between brass and plastic loco's was always pretty large. Given that prices on the high end plastic stuff have risen dramatically over the years, that price difference has shrunk quite a bit in some cases. For example, I recently came across a brass Overland Models' GP-15 with DCC in UP colors for $345 at Caboose Hobbies in Denver.
I was always taught that the only stupid question is the one that wasn't asked. So, not having any experience with brass myself, I thought I'd ask the experts here:

Twelve Months of Layout Updates (Kind Of)
So over those twelve months (which is about to become seventeen, or more) there’s probably been less than two weeks or so of actual work, in three different stretches, but I did manage to get some things accomplished during that time.
Freight car America Dynastack
Came across this new intermodal car. Was wondering if anyone has seen it in service yet. Looks like TTX has some.

Bachmann dcc turnouts
I have a Bachmann starter set equipped with the Dynamis controller and a dcc turnout. I cannot get this turnout to respond or program in the accessory position. I have decided that these things are not worth the effort and I will go with remote and manual turnouts. Does anyone have any success with dcc turnouts?
