I would like to start over in HO from N. Have 40" X 12 feet. I'm 76 and my eyes and hands don't work so well in N. While mag photos of N are excellent, I don't really view my trains that way. Can hardly appreciate the monkey motion on steam locos. Have been model railroading since 1935. Using MRC Prodigy DCC and like it, but hobby shops leave a lot to be desired installing decoders. I've had a stroke so don't care to to do fine wire hookup, but am forced to because of hobby shop goofs. My 2-8-8-2 was completely ruined by a hobby shop numbskull, and Life-Like replaced it earning my undying loyalty--then another hobby shop installed decoder with stiff wires to the tender which kept derailing the tender on curves. I cut the wires. He charged me $145.00. Ouch! I've purchased some ultra flexible AWG 30 from Miniatronics which I hope I can substitute for his "rebar". Oh well-onward and upward! Bob Hall, Grass Valley, CA <br />All my track is Kato Unitrack.
