 Thanks, Fred, that info is most helpful! I think I better stay the NMRA way. I´ll check with Proto87Stores with respect to the replacement of the CV points.Mark, your remarks are more than welcomed! I am a bit of a lone wolf in my region, not by own choice though. None of my MR buddies share my interest to model US prototype, so this forum is a way to compensate the lack of direct communication in my neighborhood.  German model railroading is very much different, it is stikll highly dominated by Marklin and the like. Scratch building is the exception and not the rule, and most rolling stock is r-t-r. Weathering is a no no (given the cost of a steamer being up to 1000 bucks, that´s understandable). So my idea of building a pure switching layout US-style, with prototype operation is not really understood. And I like your "imagineering approach - that word pretty much describes what is going on in my head, when I start to draw a track plan...
