Our club was at the Roundhouse show at the B&O railroad museum this past weekend and we had a gentleman stop by who was brand new to the hobby. We talked with him for a while and he asked, what would be a good overview of the different scales and the related aspects.

Well I picked up a DigiTrax wi-fi interface and it's working pretty good. 

I upgraded the wife's phone and I'm using her old one as my controller. So I wanted a place to park the phone when not in use and went on a search. Went to the dollar store first and nothing peaked my interest there. Next was Wally World and wandered through kitchen, bath, and sporting goods, I ended up in automotive and came across a nifty little pouch that's supposed to hang from the vent in your car. It's made by Auto Drive. Pics below.

The decision to lock a recent blog due to "... getting a LOT of complaint emails about this thread" is very disappointing. I noticed that there were no complaints IN the blog that had very well thought and apparently accurate information that could be of use to many of us. If it had gone off track into areas that are inappropriate or hurtful, then it could have been controlled and, if necessary, shut down.

But once again ,the need of the few outweigh the good of the many.
