    Well. when I get some sort of plan designed, I'll post it up here and ask for help wiring it. I will have a couple of DC power supplies to play with to start out, maybe more. Ebay is killing me right now.

    Ok, here's another question, Can I wire as if I am installing DCC right now and run a train or 2 on DC? I have in mind a yard with a turn table, round house and maintenance area with storage. I also want an area where mining or logging or both is taking place. What are your thoughts on this?

    Well, I was going to have the mining area a working area and then come to the main line and then an area that is like a working rail yard at one far end. Both will connect to the main line. I need to start putting this layout on paper.

    Hi All, I'm new here and have had a "N" scale starter train set in the box for around 15 years now. Never before did I have time to get around to really doing anything with it. At the time, I was interested in the "N" scale because of the space requirements. So, my wife went out and bought...
