    Hello everyone,
    I currently model in N Scale and is captured by the Florida East Coast RR as I have the privilege to watch them pass through my area daily. I have been fascinated by trains for as long as I can remember and throughout the years, I've managed to amass a nice collection of engines, structures, and cars without doing anything with them. My wife surprised me with a gift of giving me a room in the house and the train itch has returned. Now, as I blow off the dust, I have come to realize that I need help. My last layout was analog (about 20 years ago)and now I want to use DCC. I welcome any tips or advice as I am completely lost. Thanks in advance and it feels so good to get back in action.

    Welcome aboard. As stated, there are quite a number of folks here with experience with DCC in many forms. Browse through some of the old threads and throw questions out, I'm sure you'll get a lot of info.

    Welcome aboard, Gunny. We are pleased to have you with us.
    Good suggestions above. You might also check and see if there's a model RR club in your area for ideas and other ideas.

    Yes, there is a club here, but the weather hasn't been cooperating for me to attend the meetings. I will be sure to go when the weather permits.

    I've been a member of two different clubs over the years and have found them invaluable for advice, resources and camaraderie
