Sketchup Question
I’m working on my first real (i.e., not just doodling) project in Sketchup - a simple flat surface of a gambrel-roofed building (a gambrel roof is barn-shaped). The purpose of the sketch is to create a template that I can use to cut foam-core board to the proper dimensions for a mockup I’m building.
DC/DCC
I have DC now and I'm thinking about switching to DCC is it as simple as buying new DCC equipped engines and transformer or is there more to it?
Electricity 0.001 don’t read this, please!!!??.,!
Seems like a lot of people are having trouble with electrons. In particular with the electrons in DCC circuits. However this doesn’t preclude a number of people who are using DC circuits.
DCC complicates diagnosis of electrical problems. A simple device can go a long way at finding a trouble spot in track, switches, motors and on and on.

Bachmann Sound Value boards function outputs?
Figured I would ask here as I can't seem to find any info on the web. I know the SV decoders are stripped down Soundtraxx Tsunami's with only basic functions. My question is: Does anybody know or has tried to see if F5 and F6 have an output somewhere on the board. If you look at one upside down, there are a set of small circular solder pads on the bottom of the board.

UV 3D resin printer
I am looking at getting a 3D resien based UV printer. These print down to .25micron and do not leave lines like traditional 3d printers.
Diamond Scale Chip Car Loader Instructions Needed
Hoping someone might have a set of instructions for this kit. Purchased a Diamond Scale Const Chip Car Loader at one of the train shows and didn't notice that a complete set of instructions was not included before putting it on the shelf.

Vector Cuts
Does anyone know what happened to "Vector Cuts"? I have several of their kits and detail parts and wanted to order more, but the web site is down. Did someone buy them out, or did he just go under?
Thanks,

Does anyone else here like Tyco/Mantuas?
Good morning Model Railroad Hobbyists-

Print Out Buildings
Amazing to think you just download them, print them, stick them to card, and stick them together.
