slowing starting

[HOtrainman]

title was supposed to be slowly starting

ok. i am planning my layout right now. it will have a mix of bachmann ez track and atlas code 100. I hve been making my own buildings and a mountain. So far I have built a mountain/tunnel, station, cement factory, engine stall, cattle loading ramp, and i am currently working on a warehouse.

I have built the station, cement, mountain, and the warehouse on a section of cardboard. Then, i will place the cardboard sections on the layout in the correct spot.

i will try and get pics up asap.

quick question: where can i get the switches for a control board?

Someone told me about this place, http://www.demarelectronics.com/, They seem to have low prices. Radio shack prices are to high, IMO. I have not ordered from them yet. But the time is soon approaching.

Yeah.. Radio Shack isn't what it used to be. They are restructuring, and raising their prices by A LOT to cover the costs of keeping all those parts in stock. Over the past 5 years their prices rose by 200%+.

These days if I want to buy electronics parts, I do it on-line.

Yeah.. Radio Shack isn't what it used to be.

And it never was. They don't call it Rip Shack for nothing. :curse:
