A couple of weeks ago I acquired some really nice 85' modern passenger cars that came from an estate sale. They had no markings on them as to manufacturer? They appear to be of a very high quality, and are already set up for lighting via their truck pic-ups.

I inquired with a few other modelers that seemed to be pretty sure they were Walthers brand, and that often Walters cars did not had a brand printed on their bottoms, as Walthers has many different manufacturers produce product for themselves??

I am finishing off a room for a small layout (approx 11x15).

I asked the electrician (Sparky) to include an EPO (6 feet off of floor) that will turn off the duplex outlets used to plug in electrical and electronic equipment.

The intent of the EPO is to turnoff DCC, wireless , etc. equipment in case of an impending disaster or smell of burning in the room.

I assume that the only issue I have is momentum as the locomotive slows down.

Are there any other issues that I should consider?

I went to chase trains on the main line at Tenino, WA and right away caught a train on the Puget Sound & Pacific line (with a GP-9, but going a direction I’d never get ahead of it, so I let it go).

After about 20 minutes waiting in Tenino on the main line, I saw a southbound Amtrak, and a Northbound Freight just a couple of minutes later (I missed seeing a ‘running meet’ with two moving trains passing each other, but about a mile).
