Thanks for the input. I ran to wires to one end if the main line and discovered I'm not getting any electricity thru the second switch. Gonna have...
I bet she had fun with that layout. My grand daughter had fun rolling the cars back and forth on the track. She lost interest real fast when the...
Well, I guess before I take it apart to put magnets under it, I can play with it and use picks. So much for hands free operation... LOL
Joe, here is a photo of my huge layout. [ATTACH] Trey, thanks for the links, I will check them out.
