First post here.  Member for over two years.  Mostly I've been studying, reading, absorbing.  Learning DCC, very excited by what can be done JMRI, computers, occupancy detection, signaling, routes, dispatching, oh just say everything and be done with it.  I built my first computer in 1980.  Worked with communication electronics in the Navy.  Experience on PLC programing troubleshooting and general everything electronic fix it man. 

A little background

I'm working on repainting a model for a friend.  It had previously been custom painted, so the first step is of course to strip it.  I usually start with 91% isopropyl alcohol, and I did in this case.  It did a great job of removing the decals (which had never been clear coated, apparently), but it barely touched the paint even after two days of soaking and vigorous scrubbing with a toothbrush and Bar Keeper's Friend.

Now some progress on my Ullapool project.
The trackwork is now laid on module 2 and on module 3 there only the tracks that connect with module 4 have to be laid.
The next stepts are soldering the wires on the tracks, and cutting the tracks on the joint between modules 2 and 3.
Then joining modules 3 and 4 and laying the rest of the track.

Hi Guys,

  My first post.  It seems that Martin Wynne's Templot is now for free.  When I tried to download I got a file called "attachments.php"  about 5Mbytes that wouldn't open.  What gives?
