    Quality of track between the different companies

    My entire layout consists of Atlas Code 83 Flex Track with Atlas Code 83 Custom-Line turnouts. So far, everything runs great and the price was right.

    best paint to use

    I had a bad experience using compressed air when I painted my last diorama. The air flow was inconsistent which caused the paint to spatter. Hooking my airbrush up to my compressor fixed the problem. I would not recommend compressed air.

    Sound decoder %

    Of my nine DCC engines, only two of my engines (steam) have sound and I run them with my non-sound diesel engines all the time. My layout is small (6.5 x 8) so I reduce the volume by approximately 40% although, my son loves to crank them up when he runs them.
