    Block detection

    I am embarrassed to ask this, because I have spent a career in electronics and don't know the answer! I have a Digitrax BD4N occupancy detector. I also am looking at toroid type block detectors. Are they performing the same function? That is closing a contact to signal a train in the block...

    Hobby Lobby Decal paper

    Has anyone used Hobby Lobby's decal paper for marking equipment? I bought a pack today to experiment, and wondered if there are words of wisdom out there I should read. Thanks.

    Paint remover

    I tried the Wal Mart oven cleaner this weekend, it works very well, I looked at the results after almost two hours, and most of the bad paint job washed away with water and a tooth brush. Gives me confidence. Thanks everyone.

    Paint remover

    I have used Pine Sol to remove stages of factory lettering and some paint from rolling stock, BUT what is a good paint removed for Testors spray and Krylon, etc rattle can spray paint. I am afraid I will melt the body if I use something too strong.

    Just learned that Apple Barrel brand GRANITE GRAY, is a dead ringer to match or touch up Microscale NC&StL passenger engine decals. Available at WalMart.

    A quick and easy DCC install (lots of pictures)

    This is so very well written, thank you for a literal step by step. I have been a broadcast engineer for a hundred years, but a lot of time I assume I know something in electronic matters, that I don't. Giving the details as you have, will keep numb nuts like me from blowing up decoders. Thanks.

    HO CON-COR/ Heljan turntable - Atlas Roundhouse

    No, they dont want to be friends, but, if you separate the foundation of the roundhouse (3 stall version) in the middle about 1/4" the tracks will line up with the 90 foot Con-cor turntable (B804). I just dumped some ballast down in the space, added wet white glue & Iso alcohol like you were...
