Morning! I am a little gruffy this morning. I did not sleep much and the little sleep I got was not relaxing at all. I will have to talk to my doc about my sleep issue, next time I see him. As soon as Petra is back from the Wednesday grocery run, I´ll have to get some plaster and CA. The CA I will use to glue down the rails on the dock, prior to spiking them down. I will need that extra bond, because the planks on the dock are only 3 mm thick - not enough for a distance hold. I´ll use the 3-point track gauges I got for a little more than nothing to ensure the track will be in gauge. [quote user="cudaken"]By the way Ulrich, wht have you not gone DCC?[/quote] Ken - it´s purely a matter of cost. My options were either to buy a second loco or a DCC set. Now with only one loco you don´t really need DCC, so my choice was option # 2. Both of my locos are DCC equipped and it would be nice to have one of those Bachmann Dynamis infrared sets, but this is simply not in the budget. I still have the Kato power pack I used for the N scale layout - that will have to do the job. I still have no idea where to locate it, though. In any case, there will be a lot of walking around, when I operate the layout. Walkaround control gets a different meaning [:-^] Later in this year, Kato will bring out an analog sound system called Soundbox, which hitches up to the power pack. It has a built-in speaker and let´s you attach two more, somewhere underneath the layout. If the cost of this system is not prohibitive, I might go down that route. Blessings to all!
