[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by MisterBeasley</i> <br /><br />Cool. I don't have DCC yet, so I'm still running off the battery. Is the DCC source just a power supply, or does it have any DCC programmability? The power seemed very steady, anyway. Is it always that good, or do you have occasional dropouts? <br /> <br />I noticed the bright light in the roundhouse. How many watts was that bulb? It seemed to provide ample lighting for the camera. I'm working on my subway tunnel walls now, and I'm wondering how I will be lighting them. One trick will be to put the lights on the inside wall of each curve, where the camera will never point directly at it. <br /> <br />[/quote] <br />When you model in anything bigger than N scale, I'd use the battery if I'd be you. <br />In N scale, the battery is just to heavy and makes the car shake around too much. <br />I do get occasional dropouts, but not that often. I guess I should clean those <br />tracks again..? <br /> <br />I use grain of wheat bulbs in the roundhouse. That's a cool shot though, isn't it? <br />I just wi***hat I could get the car smaller to fit through the stall doors all the way. <br />
