    Sound vS Cheapness

    If I can make a suggestion buy at least one dcoder with sound and wait on the others so you can decide if you like the sound option , but I must warn you once you have a sound equiped Loco there is no going back I love my Atlas Gold Dash 8-40C and so does everyone that hears it. I also don't...

    I am going to paint the background and hopefully paint the base of the layout dirt brown so we can start adding some ground foam. I can't wait to get rid of all the pink foam and add some colour finally :D . Tim K

    Digitrax Rocks

    If you are thinking of DCC I could not recomend Digitrax enough. I have their low end Zephyr and I just added a DT 400 throttle with a Fascia mounted UP5 panel and it worked flawlessly right out of the box. This is my first attempt at a model railroad (about four months) and this set up...

    During a recent trip to the local train store my son was introduced to the steam era. He was handed over the controls to a dcc steamer with sound and he has not been the same sinse. All the way home he asked when could we get such a cool train for our layout ( he is six). Our problem is...
