I ended up with a bit of a dilemma when laying out the Wye on the final section of my HOn3 PC&N Ry. In order to have the Wye fit and leave enough room for at least one engine and car at the far end, I would have to tighten up the Wye radius to 18". I really wanted to keep my 22" minimum radius but that meant the Wye wouldn't even have enough room for a single engine at the far end.

Good evening,

I have a Kato GP-35 that's "DCC ready" (8 pin connector on a board). The board is held in place by 2 screws on vertical mounts. In more recent versions, I'd imagine that the board would have been held in place by the now popular "universal" clips on either side of the motor. The distance between the screw is not the same as the clip type.

As part of my conversion from Tsunami decoders to Loksound, I decided to set the top speed of my entire roster to reflect my prototype's speed limits.  Road power was set to 25mph (later adjusted to 17mph, then to 12, see update ), and the yard consist to 10mph (later adjusted to 8mph).  Doing so has been an eye-opener on a couple of fronts.

Just wanted to share my "keep the peace" work cart. Although we have been married for almost 50 years, my wife is not yet tired of me! She much prefers that we spend significant time together, even we are not directly communicating.
