should I lay out my buildings first and then lay track accordlingly

Hi all,

just recently I started to venture into DCC. My layout exists since quite some while, but it is more building  that wets my tongue, than actually driving trains around.

Also as I live in a flat, it is not big, consists of one layout element that hopefully at a later stage will find home in a suitable basement. As the blog says, I model the CP freelanced, so the UP has also some reason to exist. It is in N-scale and the passing siding tracks are a bit over 8 ft (as I have an old Rivarossi Big Boy, this would look otherwise somehow out of place).

Hi,

I just finished an install of the micro tsunami in a Bachmann GE 45 ton loco per the Trainmaster video.

I am having heat problems with it; wants to shut down after short running. Time is like 15 or so minutes and is back and forth switching at moderate speeds. I ordered a package of the thermal epoxy that Bruce mentions,  but am waiting for it to arrive. Was wondering if any one has experience with this loco install and how they might have accomplished it. I have several of the micro's in SW switchers with no problems.

Hi Guys

I have a few #5 electrofog turnouts and would like to make them completly DCC friendly.  WhATS INVOLVED?

Thanks

Mario
