[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by SpaceMouse</i> <br /><br />I'm setting up my basement layout to be operated by 4-6 crews. I have set it up with a single main with passing tracks and bottlenecks. So I need a dispatcher. <br /> <br />Now I've read that someone set up telegraph keys around his layout and his operators used Morse Code to dispatch tains. I will have trouble finding enough operators to run the trains. Operators learning Morse Code ain't going to happen. <br /> <br />We use radios at all the other places I've operated, but I don;t think that's quite right here. <br /> <br />What would you do? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br />Chip what about wiring up some old standing hook style telephones, I see them for sale at my local junk shops all the time.. might fit the time period a bit? <br /> <br />like this: http://www.amradios.com/pictures/phone-conn-wall.htm <br /> <br />Coyote
