Hello Everyone. I live in South Florida (Ft. Lauderdale) and have been unable to locate any Clubs so I hope y'all won't mind too much if I ask some pretty basic questions from time to time.
I have decided (insert second guessing here) to go with DCC for my first layout because it is my understanding that the wiring is easier. It really is an expensive decision BUT I'm hoping that in the long run it will pay off in overall satisfaction - FUN.
I have some basic layout plans that will provide me with a list of all the material I will need to get started. I have decided to go with Atlas Code 100 N/S and I will put down the roadbed. The layout will be in a room by itself on a "rolling benchwork" and shaped like an "L". (8x4 plus a 2x4 ext.) I will have a 3 year old assistant(grandson) so I do not want to be "fragile" where rubber arms can reach.
Oh Well! Hope to make friends here soon.
