(1) I think for many, and surely for me, that it is when I get into a project and find a problem arise.... that I have real need for advice and an answer, quickly. Isn't that one purpose..... to keep someone involved rather than getting frustrated and thus side tracked, and not returning to their layout? The pertinent topic three weeks ago before getting into the project, was probably not absorbed very well.

(2) The problem I have, usually has a slightly different twist than what was previously on the form, at least to me. It often does not fall exactly into a generic label (like "DCC").

(2) Personnaly, I have not found the search of past threads and the time it takes to be very productive. I either can't lock in on it, or I have to read a lot to get to the right one. It even takes considerable time to go into the many, many reference books and RR magazines I have.

(3) I admire that so many of you guys have gained so much experience and give me good solutions to my specific trouble almost without thinking. This is a wonderful resource to draw upon. And yes, the answer probably was in some earlier thread.

That works well, if there are hobby shops, clubs or home layouts in your area that you can visit to try out their DCC systems.
