Now for something completely different - traction!

My Milton and Dorchester RR is a combination of the New Haven RR MIlton Branch and the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) Mattapan - Ashmont High Speed trolley line. It is a U shaped 4' x 12' that uses half of the spare "hobby" room of our apartment in Lewiston ME. The setting is the late 1950's which allows the NH orange and black "McGinnis" diesels intermixed with PCC trolleys and the occasional "type 5" in its last year of operation.

Good evening,
Can anyone tell me if I can use a 6 pin on-off-on toggle switch for my points control panel instead of the 3 pin?
Thanks in advance,
Pranav

At the next session the kids were excited but leery – aren’t we ever going to make that train go?

There was a list of operating roles on the blackboard. My classroom has three beautiful gray slate blackboards along one wall. They are unusual today, and the kids are fascinated with the whole idea of writing and drawing with chalk, though they also find the experience a little bit “edgy” and uncomfortable because of the squeaks when they push the chalk instead of pull it.
