    Bus Wire Questions

    I have the same thing as you do and I used a single buss, 14 AWG solid for the buss and dropped 22 AWG solid feeders to the buss. Longest was maybe 14" but they are every 6'. You shouldn't have a problem with whatever you do.

    Hats Off to Digitrax

    From the above posts, that is truly impressive! Good to know as I just purchased a sound decoder, not yet install, but it is good to know they are very timely on their response.

    Amtrak crash 04/03/16

    There is a 30-40 mile section of track in Calif with no towns, no people, no roads, nothing, and Amtrak still does maybe 60 MPH. I can't imagine a train doing 100+ through inhabited areas! I guess you guys on the east coast are in more of a hurry than we are. What a shame no matter what the...

    Plastic Wheels on Older Rolling Stock

    After reading quite a few threads about the benefits of metal wheels, I decided to give them a try. I bought a 40 pack of Intermountain 33" wheelsets and started converting my old blue box rolling stock. The first one I did a roll test. I have a 2% grade through an easement and then flat. I...

    Southern Pacific Coast Line in HO

    Small world! I grew up in Goleta just north of Santa Barbara and remember the endless parade of sugar beet trains on their way to the Spreckles plant just south of Salinas. I currently live in Atascadero and have since 1970 and I am completely familiar with the area you are modeling. It would...

    DDC engine polarity question

    That would be my assumption as well but why would you do this? You may confuse the decoder for a split second but it will adjust. Is the DPDT for DC running also?

    Mieka's world

    Don't loose the nails! They look great! They are pricey as my wife has hers done every two weeks. I like the French thing though, where the main part is pinkish and the ends are painted white. I'm not sure if that is the correct description though.

    Spring Break and Tax Season, Affect You???

    I try to get as close to zero as possible, a couple hundred each way is okay. I don't want a big refund nor do I want a big bill. Adjusting the withholding is the key but you don't know if you did it right for a year. There are 3,321 IRS tax forms so I am all for a flat tax and fire 75% of...

    Iron: I have never seen an offering of an Atlas curved turnout and I have searched their website. Do you have a link to someone that has them or were they only offered for a short time?
