This month's op session was well attended and another excellent variety of model trains was run over the layout.

I'm not always the best at coming back to look at comments here, but I was surprised how misunderstood my track cleaning video was from the comments. 

I've made the move to West Virginia and the railroad room in the attic is measured and ready.  Unfortunately I still have considerable unpacking before I can start building.  In between unpacking boxes I've been doing a few sketches on Cadrail.  the first is a depiction of the GC&E branch of the Western Maryland between Bergoo and Webster Springs.  The branch has a narrow gauge feel to it which isn't surprising since it was narrow gauge when WM bought it.  it would support simple slow operations between the two track fiddle yard and Webster Springs.

Over the years I've seen bits of information about making turnouts more DCC "friendly." Unfortunately I didn't keep an index of those articles. Any help identifying those information sources would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I started in the "Modeling General Discussion". Not many responses/lurkers. So, i will attempt to tell my story here. I chose "tools, etc." because it's all about how to build a layout using unconventional ideas and methods. Some work, some don't. If you'd like, go to the regular forums and MGD and find the same title as this. I posted today, so is near the beginning. But will move down until ??

The basic idea I have is to discuss odd ideas and how they work or don't work.
