Midland & Dorchester — N Scale Shelf Layout — May 2020 Update

Hey all, 

Here's the May update for the shelf layout that I've been working on. I started a handful of little projects including roughing in some base scenery, the basics of a few structures, and some planning for the corner section of the layout. Would be honored if you took a look!

Thanks!

Sean

 

WIFI, Cell phone throttles, from a Troglodyte's Point of View

I am a confused troglodyte (can you guess?)  I don't understand the attraction of using a cell phone to operate your layout.  As we speak, I am sitting in front of my "Obsolete Desk Top Confuser"; so, the fact that I don't get it, should be easy enough to understand.  I don't like talking on the telephone much and certainly don't want to be accessible to every Tom, Dick and Harry who has my phone number 24/7/365!  I am done with day to day attempts at trying to make a living and so much of what people feel is simply

Continuity Problems

Brand new layout using code 83 flex and Walthers turnouts.  Walthers turnouts were chosen for their supposed DCC compatibility.  It's a point-to-point layout and was intended to be DCC so it was constructed with only a single electrical block.  Got the track work done and electrical connections made on every piece of the flex track. Connected a dirt cheap DC rheostat type power pack and my DC locomotives, a Con-Cor MP15 and a Bachmann 2-8-0 worked great!   No problems with derailments and NO STALLING anywhere on the layout.
