I was frustrated by the lack of a "comprehensive" scale conversion chart for modeling, so I decided to build one myself.

I think it's pretty neat, because it shows fractions (to a 64th), decimals, millimeters, and "scale" inches (i.e., the inches in the scale you've selected or entered).  You can also enter your own scale, if you're modeling something off the beaten track.

Lot of modeling projects course.

But the biggest to me is the decision to emigrate in Canada in the next comming months ( wait for my papers in fact)

Hi All

I had a chance to play round with a Loksound Full Throttle loco and while I was quite impressed with it I went away thinking that this type of decoder is good for those shunting type of layouts and also point to point layouts.

Where it falls away compared to the Tsunami 2 is if one has a round and round layout.  I like the T2 better in this case because of the auto-notching feature.  Whereas with the Loksound FT, I had to keep pressing Drive Hold off and on and change the speed using the throttle which I found frustrating.  

Greetings everyone,

I am a brand new participant, so forgive me if I'm asking any redundant questions.

Allow me to introduce myself: I am an illustrator and cartoonist, and I am interested in creating a new railroad board game. I'd want something fairly inexpensive to produce, but "graphically rich" in the sense of being far less abstract than, say, A Ticket to Ride, or other existing rail games out there.
