QUOTE: Originally posted by Buckeye Riveter After spending all the time and trouble using insulating track pins and single and double pole switches, as I did on a previous HO layout, I hardly recommend using the MTH DCS-2, as Philly mentioned above or the Lionel TMCC system. What ever you choose is much easier than a blocking system. Your options are so much better and both systems can have the engines meet head on within inches of each other. Two train running on the same track? We commonly have three engines running on the same track. Big Boy is working on a system that direct links to a computer to control the trains with the Lionel TMCC system. As Blueberry Hill, who recently visited my layout and ran the trains said, "It (TMCC) gives new meaning to running the trains." [:D]

It DOES, give new meaning to running trains and having fun. Chuck
