    Few more questions.

    I been thinking and thinking how to make my layout different. Other than coal and grain, what were some other resources being transported on the rails in the 1940's? I was thinking about trees/logging. Was it common for one steam engine to haul freight, then haul passengers in the same day?

    Are Digitrax DCC wireless?

    Well how do I connect it to the track, because I know along time ago my DC I had to connect to the track, because they were rail joiners.

    Want to own a 1:1 scale train set???

    With 60 million I could model the whole USA in HO with that kind of money. That's really cool though

    Want to get back into a childhood hobby.

    So you're saying I should invest in a turn table, than a 180 degree turn? I been trying to think of a new track layout every time I can use my computer, can't think of anything interesting.

    Want to get back into a childhood hobby.

    Hey guys and gals. Can I get some opinions on my track plan and ways to make it better. I was also thinking about track again. I am just going to go with Atlas 83 or Atlas True track. Which do you think is better? Likewise, I am still puzzled for what I should lay down for grass, dirt, and a town.

    Very nice engine. That's a good starter. I swear the table is the hardest part. Has to be. I mean can you believe IKEA doesn't sell anything for models? You think they would.

    Want to get back into a childhood hobby.

    I was going with the small engines anyways. I was looking through some online stores today and in the HO section I noticed a few products I had as a kid. I may look into some old boxes, because I know I had A LOT of track. It's either N scale or HO scale. Hopefully HO. Anyways, I am still...
