Trim the handles and add motor housings and you’ve got the same ones on the New York State Canal System. Those channel cat fish and carp put up one heck of a fight though!

All taken from original drawings and scaled down, and 3D printed, the smaller N scale ones also have extra center sections so you can make it as long as you want.

Your the man who knows about such things, so you tell me ?Big Queston:
Can we convince Tony to automate it?

I really like them but if I were to get them I would have to change my thinking about the over all scenery - that is what I am not sure about. Once I get the track in properly and can see how much room I have for scenery I think I'll be able to make a better decision.

Very wise decision! Track first, squeeze the rest in later.

Tony, you can always automate the easy way…using your fingers to move things. Cheap, easy and you’ve got em already!

So back to the layout for a second .... today has shown a lot of progress (I think). I cleared out another section beneath the layout so I can get to the back of it to put in the outside track, installed around 5 - 6' of track on the front side - um, well - that is about it
Now I have to start putting in some Drop Feeders and will have to think about running my main Bus beneath the layout. It is getting a little too big to run off of one set of feeders

Chris Yes you don't need anything else just power to the 751D I had a couple of them set up to throw 2 switches at once for a crossover

Oh OK. The CDU Tony has will power at least 12 switches at the same time, but I'm curious, you obviously know about CDU's, is there a reason they aren't used in the US, as Tony said, he couldn't find any, and I looked and couldn't find any either, are these some kind of specialist equipment not generally known about in the US since they are so hard to find?

Just finished putting in a couple of sets of drop feeders as well as a temporary bus for the additional track. Now to show you guys something that will prove, once and for all, your track work does not have to be perfect
