 I usually operate alone so I set all my switches AHEAD of time to cab A. Chances are they are already set. Then I operate for as long as I wish with out doing any of this.[quote user="selector"]  In DC, unless the operator is actively and assiduously manipulating a wide array of mechanical switches as the locomotive moves, there will be a short or an accident....period. [/quote]This portrayal however sure sounds "absolute and categorical" to me. Thank you for making my point so clearly. Could be you are guilty of the very thing you accused me of.This is exactly the type of nonsense that is being spread about on this thread. Any DC guy knows you don't have to run ahead and constantly do this.[quote user="selector"]  I can think of no engineman who has to run ahead of his locomotive and throw mechanical switches to keep his train moving safely.  It all happens in the cab, and that is closer to the reality of hand-held DCC control. [/quote]  Any real railroader or intelligent railfan knows railroads are not run as you portrayed them here also.Spacemouse I only singled you out because of the title and Selector I never singled you out either until I responded to your comments.
