Kim Don't worry about the neighbours mate, my locos have adjustable levels of sound, so if they complain you have several courses of action 1) Deny everything and suggest either they have had too much to drink or are suffering delusions caused by childhood deprivation. After all no one else can hear trains can they? 2) Turn the sound down so that it wouldn't be regarded as annoying by all but the most difficult person. and there are people allover; that will complain about anything up to and including winning the lottery. 3) But the best way is if you get any commenters, invite them over to watch and have drink, quietly turn the conversation around and try to get them come over regularly and do some work. Don't forget we all learned a lesson from our American friend of days gone by; was it Tom Sawyer or Huckelberry Finn that actually got people to pay to paint his fence. Jim. About the rail, do not go to stainless unless you have an hostile environemt or some very good and simialr reason to so do. 1) Stainless is very expensive and you just don't need the extra cost, better to buy more track if you have the extra money. 2) It cannot be soldered and any other means of joining is very expensive and screwing will never be as good as solder. 3) If you change your mind and go to brass later, you may have problems in some areas woith electrolysyis. (caused by DC going through two dissimilar materials) 4) The majority of people use brass and they must have good reason for so doing. ie reinventing the wheel can by expensive and not worthwhile. 5) Stainless is nowhere near the conductor of electricity that brass is, so you are just making more work for yourself unneccessarily; unless as I have said you need too, because of ambient conditions. I don't need it here in the tropics. I was dissappointed in that it will take you a weekend to get going, HOURS mate HOURS. Regards Ian, Kawana etc,
