My old layout was built on plywood, so I knew how to attach the tortoise machines. (I thought it was a pain...) If I use light weight foam for my...
hmm, no, I haven't considered a drawbridge. I think because there would be three tracks, and at different elevations, it would be a real...
Tad - could you possibly cut and paste your 'how to' onto this forum for discussion and comment?
One question about using the digital photo's - do you just take the photo of your scenery and print it up, or do you worry about resizing it to...
I can't do 3' x 3' because that would leave me literally one square foot in the center to stand. Maybe I will either make all the shelves 24", or...
This is a ROUGH diagram. It would be an inside industrial track with 16" radius curves and an outside twice around scenic track with 18" radius...

Just wired the Lenz LK100 to the crossing - worked perfectly! Even easier wiring then the MR article - I just wired one end of the LK100 to the...

-great photo 'how-to', I will try tonight on my n-scale PECO switches. Thanks.
My Lenz has been flawless, and was "plug and play" from the start. There is a company called Kam Industries that has software to run the Lenz...
On severeral places on my layout, after the track has been ballasted, I have gone and just cut the track with my Xeon (?) track cutting tool. the...
"golden spike" moments are the greatest! What is is, however, when you make the switch from DC to DCC? The golden feeder?
Very much care. Love watching projects like this progress.
Love it!
Installed electrofrog crossing with a DPDT switch, awesome evening running two engines at once for first time on layout. Now I need to figure out...
