Hi. I'm new to the hobby and I have just finished building my first layout. (less scenery). I was hoping someone could tell me how to use the controllers and selectors. These are Atlas products for an HO scale layout. I can only seem to get my train to run about half way around the track. I think it has what is called a reverse loop in it. The wires on this loop go to the XY positions on the controller.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi all,

it's been a while but with riding season over and the bikes in garage waiting on better weather I turned back upstairs to restart the work on the H's & T's switching layout. Based on Lance Mindheim's " East Rail District".

Ok, where to start......first I whent for palmtrees and afther looking around I found the Preiser palmtrees kit. Ordered some online and afther they came in, set my mind on them and afther a few evenings they came out like this.....

 So, I believe Friday the 20th is "Take a Train to Work Day."  Anyone planning on doing so?  I've had my N scale diorama in my office this whole week at work.  While I've got the odd eye-roll, most people have been genuinely interested in it.  Several people said "I used to do that when I was a kid" or "my dad/grandpa does that" or just "that's pretty neat!"  I'm glad I went through the effort of bringing it up on the plane.  I just hope it also makes it home in one piece.

I know how these things work but I can't figure this one out and it's driving me crazy.  This is a link to what I believe is the Proto 87 website.  www.proto87.com/index.htm .  This is a link I found in another post in this forum: www.proto87stores.com/p87stores/frtrck.htm.  I've navigated throughout the site from the first link and can't seem to find the page from the second link. Can somebody shed some light?
