Allen Gartner's Wiring for DCC board 7. All the people that are on the web and exchanging ideas. 8. Brass locomotives 9. My wife who says: why don't you go and play with your trains. 10. My daughters who say: Dad this is an awsome layout. enought for now, probably more to come. ------------------ When in doubt, empty your magazine.
I think it's hard to beat the "Heritage Series" Proto 2000 Mallet 2-8-8-2 loco. It is a superb model for the money and runs like a watch. It even negotiates my sharp curves without a hitch.

The Spectrum 2-8-0 out of the box runs smooth and slow with no binding. Best engine we have every seen of about the 100 or so here the guys own, brass or plastic. A pleasure. Everything all the guys said in the newsgroups are true. Get one... ------------------
