Digitrax with PSX circuit breakers problem resolved (hopefully).
Digitrax using PSX circuit breakers (CB).
During operating sessions, while several trains were running, sometimes all the CB's would start flashing on and off shutting down the entire layout until the short was corrected.
It took me awhile but I was, finally, able to recreate the problem. I put an engine on each power block district that each CB was controlling and then put a quarter in each block until the problem occurred.
I emailed Larry Meier at DCC specialties and he gave me a few things to try.
What color is this covered hopper?
I found this B&W picture on the internet. Does anyone know what color this car actually is? The body appears to be white or very light gray. The lettering may be red since there were other Evans 4780 cars in Nebraska that were red on white, but that is no guarantee.
Ashland Ore Dock
A friend and I are going to be making a model of the Ashland ore dock that was located in Ashland Wisconsin until it was torn down. So far we have gotten 195 original blueprints of the dock and the approach.
How to control your topic
I have a question. Is thier any way to actually control a thread on this forum? By that I mean can I post (somehow) and lock out or delete spicific posts or posters from being able to post to my topic/thread?
The reason I ask is I have noticed that certain types of discussions will start off well but eventually those with a different view on the subject will enter the thread even if asked not to and ultimately the thread blows up and gets locked and a good discussion gets trashed.

Styrene Siding - adhesive advice.
Group,
Currently working on a scratch build project. On one section I have the core of the building built from 1.60mm styrene, The wall sizes are 45mm H and at the longest 90mm long.
For the final product I plant to cover the wall with styrene brick pattern that is .5mm Thick.
What glue/adhesive would you suggest? I have read that the wrong glue can cause the material to warp when using it as a skin on a core structure.
