My neighbor has asked me to help him install his HO Walthers 130' Digital Turntable. He runs Digitraxx but does not plan to use his digital throttle for track selection.

I have several questions/concerns about this unit:

Prototype information

At long last I sit down and write the story of my layout, the N-Scale Hudson and Hartford. It has been a long time in coming and there are still many things that need be worked out, created, designed and tested.

Signals and Train Symbols on a Shortline

Operations

As some of you may have read in the past, I am developing a fictional shortline that runs between Plainville, CT (central) and New London, CT (southeastern). I have the route planned out (in my head) and most of the industries have been visualized and their locations along the line determined. The next step for me is to figure out how trains will operate along the mainline. I am modeling "current era" in HO scale. I don't have a track plan, which I know would be helpful for all of you to vis

Layout design

Thanks to everyone who commented on my last set of track plans, I think I have managed to get closer to what I want to build. The main difference from my previous track planning efforts is that I went back to the prototype to see what I could learn from it.

Layout tour

Hi All,

Will be conducting another chat session today at 1400 (2:00pm - around an hours time) AEST via Skype. This session will hopefully have a few MRH members on so we can test out Skype - Video Conferencing and have a chat about each other layouts and share some ideas.

Hope to see a few people there, I'll hopefully be able to give everyone a tour of the JL&T.
