Selector, I was looking at one of your pictures you posted for the 2009 Holiday Special titled "In the Bleak Midwinter" and it showed a locomotive exiting a tunnel portal with a barren tree to the right and I have to ask...where did you get that tree trunk? It looks incredible!
I did not mean to sound mean in my thread. I just was starting to get the impression that everyone in there, thought that they knew everything, and I really did not want the whole thread going that way.
Otherwise your comment about needing 1000 amps of electrical service for 1000 locos if each loco takes 1 amp is kind of misleading. I just took a look at my power converter for my TV. It takes in 120 Volts AC and 1.5 amps AC. The output is 12V DC and 3 amps DC. So if the DCC boosters work with at least that efficency, a 5 amp booster is only really using 2.5 amps of power from the electric company.
Crandell, are you going to the show in Nanaimo tomorrow?

Hey Crandell thanx for the heads up.
I was looking at that and it does look off, I'll take another shot at it.
