    Cork RB and Track installation

    Never mind I figured it out number 10 on the controller is the only one that allows analog. I have no idea why it still makes a squeeling noise while the throttle is being advanced and then it just stops. Thanks anyway though. Now that I have the trains running I ran into another small problem...

    Cork RB and Track installation

    I took a trip to the LHS and much to my suprise, I seemed to have irritated most of the gentlemen by choosing N gauge. I could see that most of the guys were all HO scale enthusiasts which was fine by me as they simply just bashed my interest in N gauge. I kindly broke away from the discussion...
