@BentnoseWillie That is my old layout, built with Märklin C-Track. I used the Märklin Digital System (Motorola Format) Märklin is not DCC compatible. locos and rolling Stock on that layout are from Märklin and Brawa. But Brawa has only a few AC models, like the UP GP-38 you have seen on the layout. check www.brawa.de, but their models are factory tuned life-like models. The quality is good though. Mehano also makes AC locos, but they are cheap and so is the quality. It is possible to switch between systems, but then you have to rebuild all trackpieces (cut the connections between the rails). It is not worth it. Only on really small layouts. I switched to DC because there is a much bigger variety of models, and the tracks look more real. I do not like those little nipples in the middle of the Märklin track, and i do not like a third rail either. Like i said, i want it to be as real as possible. @all I found a website showing detail trackplans of some big yards, very interesting. [url]http://www.ble439.org/maps.htm[/url]
