Modeling topic
Operating with Aisle-Side Buildings
Here is a section of my layout plan. It is a reasonably close match to the prototype that I am modeling. As is typical with railroads some customers are on each side of the railroad. That is, some are on the wall side and some are on the aisle side of the tracks. This is a shelf layout with track height 56" above the floor of the room. As you might imagine spotting freight cars along the buildings that are on the aisle side of the tracks can be a problem with seeing and reaching.
What are your thoughts? Do you have this issue with your layout? How do you deal with it.
TCS decoder in a consist
So I have a locomotive I converted to DCC using a TCS WOW kit... it works great as a lone unit but when I add it to a consist (as the lead locomotive) it will not respond to using the headlight, horn or bell. I do not have this issue with any of my other locomotives and I'm at a loss as to why this one is behaving in this manner...
Difference between iPad and iPhone and the forum......
I’m curious about something and am wondering if the group might have an answer. I got a new iPhone 10 and at the same time I finally broke down and bought an iPad, the new 10” Pro. They are basically identical with the same apps, IOS, and functionality. My problem is this. The iPhone keeps me logged in for days at a time and the iPad does not. It’s so bad that if I accidentally hit the delete (backspace to non Apple users) once too many I get to the first screen and have to log in again.

Building a Proto-Freelance 0 scale switching layout: "Vernon, California"
Hi all,
Let me introduce myself; Ronald, born in the Netherlands Europe, 54, married to Wanda with 2 kids (24 and 27) and 1 granddaughter of 7 who lives with us. I'm a modeller as long as I remember, trains where always part of my life. My father started with Fleischmann H0 which later went to me. I expanded with European stuff like Roco and somewhere end of the nineties the American bug really bite me. '98 I bought my first 2 US Atlas H0 locos and from that point on I was hooked to American trains.
