At this weekend's Vancouver Train Exposition, modelers were treated to a "Virtual Layout Tour" of four local layouts.  Sitting in the grandstands of the Forum on the Pacific National Exhibition fair grounds, an estimated 40 to 50 attendees grabbed bags of popcorn, kicked back with their friends, and watched videos recently shot on these 4 layouts all projected in high resolution onto a large screen.

Want to see Trains Across America series again. With the popularity of DCC it seems appropriate. 

Does anyone know an alternative to commercial decal setting solutions?   Isopropyl or denatured ethanol work?

Thanks

I know some may turn their noses up at old Mantua steamers running in DC-only mode, but I have several that I really love and would like them to run smoother. Most of the threads on this topic are pretty old, now, and the solutions are outdated. I have a couple of factory can motor Mantuas that are extremely smooth and one Camelback that has a Helix Humper inside. I plan to take these apart and try to figure out what's actually going on. And some of the open-frame motor units are very smooth and quiet.
