Dave, Sorry, I did not have the "view signatures" enabled. Nice web site, and great history of the IVRR. Sounds plausible - in fact it is somewhat like the CPR in western Canada. They built hotels and resorts to generate revenue for the incredibly expensive rail line they had just (though mostly at taxpayers' expense) built through the Rockies. I hope the comments about DCC are helpful. Don't let the percieved wiring "restrictions" dictate your design. With DCC, all the track is on all the time - the only thing you need to worry about is enough power for your locos (if you run too many, you may need to divide into power districts - each with their own supply) and avoiding shorts (like return loops - but there are DCC compatible electronic modules that handle this for you - not switches to throw). Andrew
