If you are intending to be out by the coast sometime on the weekend (unfortunately I have to work the rest of the week), drop me an email if you want to drop by and chat/run trains. I used to be in the N scale club at the museum.

That's great, Greg. Thanks. I'll be in touch.
What scale do you run? How big is your layout?
Later,

1:29, standard gauge equipment, there are pictures on my site, under progress and development. About 450' of track so far, not big as I would like it, but small lot. SS rail, DCC and DC track power.
I'll add my experiences. I use track power, constant DC, and DCC over the air, using the QSI/Airwire system. You could argue it's the worst of both worlds, but it works very well for me--I can run multiple loos at once and MU them as well. The thing I like the most is the built in sounds and the way the sound responds to motor load. If I had a lot of extra cash on hand, I'd probably switch over to conventional DCC on the rails
Track cleaning is mostly a minor nuisance. I have about half brass and half stainless, and for the way I run, I'm not sure stainless is worth the extra money
