Hi,

I have a twin tier layout and I need to join them together. The rise is 21 inches and I can get a 4 degree slope in but this would necessitate major change to the existing benchwork as the top layer is supported by angle iron brackets. The difficulty could be solved by a 5 or 6 degree slope but I want to know if this would work before I commit to the woodwork. I would appreciate your advice. Thanks.

When running a DCC power bus, what is the accepted wisdom on whether to put a twist in the bus wires or to just run them side by side? And how far apart should the two wires be? I seem to recall in the past seeing entries or articles talking about puttin gterminating capacitors at one or both ends of the bus (can't remember the details). Should I do this and why? Are there any other electrical hints that are worth knowing? Thanks.

I read in a message this morning these words: " . . . got me where I am." Those words put me to thinking. Where am I in the hobby. Where are you and everyone else in the hobby? Are you where you want to be? Have you accomplished your goals? Where are you and where do you see yourself as fitting in model railroading?
