chief, i am running in command mode and the layout has 9 power blocks distributed across 3 PW ZW's. i always have at least two passenger trains on the layout. i have not noticed any voltage problems. however, i don't usually have two passenger trains in the same power block; they are just too long.

Don't these long passenger car tains with lights pull down the voltage? [looks good Tom]

Realy impressive Fjerome, but what I wonder, how many axles are driven on that F3 ABB combination? It seems like a pretty heavy train...

thanks, spanky.

just for that, you get another shot as the CZ swings past shale canyon on the curved bridge over the UP and Southern tracks and Lake Oswego.

Hey Guys, some great pics this week.
Jerry, it’s looking good, you better get a patent to protect your self.

Fjerome, I love the look of your layout and the passenger cars are outstanding.

Jack, the train station is great, are you going to make a model of it [?]

Pigseye – nice shot of the BNSF, we have quite a few of them going thru NE Ohio these days.

You can feel the ground shake if you stand too close. The BNSF running north to Canada.
