    lift out and stopping train.

    yes that would work but the lift out is in the hallway to my house so I am not always going to be around the throttle.

    lift out and stopping train.

How can I wire it so that as the locos go across the gap they will stay running until the last loco goes over the gap? Could I...

    weird sound out of loco

    as said in bottom of first post gp35 and the NON DCC RTR's. I have taken the shell off and gave it the same power from the handheld as it had while running. I moved the trucks side to side up and down every which way. I could not get it to replicate the sound. All the axles are good and in...

    turntable and making it work

    So right now I have the atlas TT on my layout it works great but its just too small.

So what I am...

    Switching Systems

    I know I can Brett but there are limitations to it. I am just getting tiered of the PA2 and want something I dont always have to have a cord hanging off of. when running I have to go under a lift out and another section of bench work to get to the other part of the layout. I am getting sick of...
