Take care stop by the Elliots dinner for a cup of coffee and some apple pie. Kevin Thanks for the concern and good wishes. The walking program is on hold - not enough energy for simple walks right now. Seems like the cancer will not allow me any recovery; even from the heart attack weakness. I do have a physical therapist stopping by to help though. Thanks for the good wishes

Spent the entire last weekend in the hospital getting a stent put in my completely blocked right coronary artery. Looks like everything will be OK. I was weak from the last series of "problems" and now have trouble just walking 50 feet. Back to the recovery mode though. I keep trying.
The on line manual: http://www.modelrectifier.com/resources/trainsound/0001408.pdf I have the Advance and really like it. The Express will not do routes though (only individual accessory decoders - i.e., one turnout at a time). The "major" downfall of the Express is that it does not read CV values. I consider the ability to read CV's as an extremely important function. My advice is get the Advance and be happy with all of the needed features.

Time period is 1970. How about the plywood track plan? Any comment (including looks OK ) is acceptable. I think it looks good. I assume the turnout angles

Vail and Southwestern RR wrote: Probably not Singletown, either, huh? Nope I have laid out the track on the plywood. can't seem to get a decent picture though. I traced over the pencil lines with PSP and added some text. The track is the narrow lines. The plywood will be cut about where the heavy black line is. The bottom panel goes to the right of the top panel ( 2 -8' sections combined into one 16' layout). Both panels will have 1.5" added to the top as shown (back of layout against

As soon as I get the heavy stuff done; I will get back to the BAH RR for as long as I can get to it (at some point, going up and down to the basement will be beyond my physical ability). Then I will get back to detailing the new N layout. pcarrell wrote: Alan_B wrote: I will probably start a new thread; as soon as I can come up with

Your photo's have been great to watch on your other layout. John Thanks John for the nice comments. I bought a sheet of 1/2" ply and a sheet of 3/16" Masonite yesterday for construction. I am going to lay cork roadbed on the ply and use the Masonite for backdrop and fascia. Except for the wall side straight run; there
I am going to build a N scale shelf layout (folded dog bone 16' long). I purchased roadbed, track, turnouts, 2 loco's, 19 rolling stock, and a bunch of misc stuff needed to lay the track. Here is all of the stuff sitting on a 30" x 60" of ply that will be my test track (to make sure that everything works correctly). I got the test track (oval) completed and unpacked the loco's and a few of the rolling stock. Here are both loco's running on the test track. For you Digitrax
