Sometime in 2007ish I purchased used working D igitrax Zephyr and a dt100 handheld. I tested and goofed around with it on a simple few tracks and then it went into storage. It's now 2018, and I'm planning out my purchases for starting my layout and wonder should I just start fresh and brand new since there is newer tech in Dcc controller and boosters, or wire this in to start and upgrade later once I got my first TOMA section wired to start.

This discussion topic is for short term. It is not intended to be maintained long term.

I am building two factories for my layout. Both have bridges in the 2scond floor between buildings. I am interested in your thoughts about this, although the deed is already done with both factories. If you have photos showing something like this please share them with us. Any information about them, like what were they used for, etc. would also be appreciated.

And now for something completely different...

When I'm not in the basement working on my layout I'm at the desk navigating these forums. Sometimes I get the train itch when I'm not home like my lunch break or the waiting room at the doctor's.

What train games do you play on your phones?

I used to play Pocket Trains and Tiny Rails. Looking for something new perhaps a Railroad Tycoon/Sim City.

Hey guys,

I was trying to figure out why railroads use dwarf signals?  Like the one in the picture below. What constituted using a dwarf versus a regular height one??
