In 2016, I rode behind 4501 from TVRM across northern Georgia on one of their day long excursions. I saw this shack as I passed by and got interested. Turns out, it shows up in a lot of photos and video of those trips:

Quick question about LGB track...

Is it all mostly compatible with each other?

For instance, I have a half oval of Bachmann G track... if I bought LGB track from eBay would the two be compatible? Or are the connections different? I have two Bachmann sets that I've never been able to test, because I only have that half oval, and have been considering putting up an oval of track, and seeing if these locos even work.

Okay, so here's a question... when I built my Hogwart's Castle (well.. not so much built, as modified) for DCC and sound, I added an LED light inside the cab to simulate the fire in the fire box. Because the engine has no headlight, I wired the firebox light into the decoder for "headlight" and have the decoder programmed so it stays on for both headlight, and tail light (so it's constant on)

My question is... is there a way to program that light in CVs (or better yet, JMRI) so that it flickers? Or am I stuck with it as just a solid light?

The thread as to the merits of various adhesives relative to trackwork is, as are most posts, very interesting.

As to an adhesive to be used for securing ballast, the Mod Podge vs Matte Medium suggests Matte Medium is the preferred option.  In turn, that prompts me to ask is there a difference between Scenic Express' offerings of Matte Medium vs Liquitex Matte Medium?

Thanks and regards,
