My brother in law is 58 and acts like 12. He want's me to do a Gomez Addams on the the layout. I told him I would that I would do it with the following conditions:
1-He needs to wear the pinstripe suit Gomez wore
2-He needs to have someone make his eyebrows black
3-He needs to have a cigar in his mouth
4-I will be able to videotape it
I would get some type of smoke device set to send up smoke behind the crash so it looks fairly realistic. I would use the cheapest engines I have just in case something on them breaks...
This was told to him 5 years ago.. still waiting...

More than once, I could've used that third hand.

willy6 Gomez Addams certainly destroyed some nice trains and layouts. Who rebuilt it each time...Uncle Fester?

Lurch.
Big guy, but very patient. And good hand-eye co-ordination.
Once in awhile, Thing would lend a hand.

NWP SWP Just remember to break the consist if the locos won't remain together otherwise when you set up to run again if you select one loco and the other is elsewhere on the track it will also begin moving...

Absolutely. I have a four unit set of F's that is/are a "ticking timebomb". Just lifted them off the track and put them away. Baaadd Ed!

If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough!
Yes. I have operated four.
The manuals for DCC sytems tell you how. You can look them up online, very easily.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
Yes, direction and speed of each loco with a unique decoder address is completely independent. Yes, you can crash head on if you aren't paying attention, or you are Gomez Addams.

Yes.
They can crash.
There is an "officially approved" version of that that you will probably want to do, sometime. It's called consisting. It's when you have "a buncha" diesels all together at the front. The typical way to build such a consist is to run one engine up to another (that is stopped, in this case), and do some button pushing. Now you can control them as if they're tied together. You can add more.
Two engines, each running towards the other--Two engines, one stopped, other running towards.
Consisting, for me, was kinda scary at first. So I had the printed instructions right in front of me. Yea! It worked. No, really. Anyway, it's pretty cool looking when you pull it off.
I have a noob question. I know that Dcc allows you to operate more than one train at the same time. The question is if I have a long straight section of track running west to east and I place an engine at each end of the track facing each other, does the decoders allow the engines to run toward each other?
