    Hi everyone...

    This content was also posted on the N scale forum this morning but I wonder if this forum might not be more suitable in retrospect.

    In preparation for a major operating event in September I have been putting in the necessary tools to dispatch the Columbia & Western under TT&TO. This includes both a phone system and a computer-driven Dispatching panel for controlling the Train order signals. The former makes use of inexpensive wireless handset phones in intercom mode while the latter uses JMRI/Panelpro, Digitrax stationary decoders and custom circuitry. I have posted a video of the dispatching system on Youtube at

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rifVpfkHB60 should you be interested.

    I also continue to make progress on the scenery with the objective of finishing all scenery on the second level (sand bridges and finished buildings) before September. Videos of trains rolling through this scenery are also posted on Youtube at the location below.

    Any and all feedback or questions are welcome of course!
    thx
