Pledge Revive it AKA Future
I decided to give the Revive it a try for the first time for a decaling project. I sprayed it with an air brush and it gave me a nice high gloss finish for decaling. However it went on a little thick around some detail. The label says it can be stripped with ammonia. So my question is, does ammonia attack plastic?

Help Identifying a DCC Specialties Board
I need some help identifying this DCC Specialties DCC Board - I think this is an autoreverse board. Not sure why it has the normal 2-connectors J1 Inputs but then there are 6-connectors on the J2 output.
Any ideas?

Hi All,
Went to see some trains today with my camera. Found a couple scenes that you might enjoy looking at.
In the spirit of the holidays I'd like to share them with You.
Hope the ensuing year is Happy, Healthful and Prosperous for you.
I’m looking forward to see and enjoy your prototype photos too again this year.
I truly enjoyed the last couple years photos. Thanks!

DCC Turnout Numbering for JMRI
My layout is based on the Georgetown Branch of the B&O and I would like your input on a configuration issue I have run into.
Sidings on the branch were numbered mostly in groups based on the area/town the sidings were located in. For example: in Bethesda sidings were numbered 203A, 203B, 203C, etc. At River Road, the sidings were numbered 204A, 204B, 204C, etc. Going forward I want to keep the prototype siding numbers on whatever paperwork I end up using, car cards, or switch list.
