Hi Dave, That sounds like a lot of stuff, even in N, for only 10 feet of shelf, plus a bit. Maybe you want to cut it down to one mine, and one destination industry, with the mountains and town in between. Having a yard or some other staging for the trains might be useful in terms of setting up the trains to run when you want to "operate" versus just running around the loop. Your link does not work properly for me - all I get is garbled text. I am using Win 2000, Netscape 7.1, and a high-speed connection... Would be useful to see what you have in mind... Lastly, DCC is more affordable than you think. By the time you buy all the electronic supplies (switches, wire, 2 or more power packs) and so on, and wire all the blocks into the layout, you will have spent as much as a good starter DCC system like Atlas Commander (made by Lenz) or Digitrax Zephyr. Both these systems can be found in Canada for just over CAN$200, so they must be well under US$200 by now. To get two top quality powerpacks, you are looking at about that anyway (according to MR ads). Andrew
