About a year ago, I was given a gift from an older fellow who I operated on a layout with regularly. It was his entire collection of MRR mags from 1950 to the present, all in pristine condition. I cannot put them down!!!!! The ones from the early 50's are my favorite. I am completely...

I'm finalizing the plans for my Nscale layout. I'm planning on using NCE, I've been using it at an operating session I attend and love the feel of it. What is the difference between a NCE sold separately decoder and a locomotive that comes dcc equipped? Should I buy a dcc ready engine instead...

Thanks John. Your pretty much correct. I'm a bit of a southern New England railway history buff. I've also done some archeological metal detecting on a few portions of the road bed. (With land owners permission of course) it's funny I grew up playing on the road bed ad a kid, thinking it was an...

I'd love to have one with sound that's the plan!! Is there a better performing track? Meaning I've always used atlas code 80, is there one that performs better? I'm thinking of the atlas code 55. Or peco code 55. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for all the responses everyone!! I've done a lot of thinking and re-evaluating of what "I" really want to do. A lot of points you guys have made really hit home. With all the plans I've come up with and all the layouts based on operations I've looked at, the reason why I can't just go...
