My 17 year old daughter is taking her some of her n scale trains to school today as part of a physics project on electricity, etc.  Her topic is DCC; she researched the subject and wrote a paper, her visual aid is a loop of unitrack hooked up to a Digitrax system.  She should have fun.  In addition to being a science and train nerd, she's a darn good volleyball player, too....

That's great!

Every year at my kids School, they hold a huge math fair. Sometimes it includes other Schools. There is always at least one time saver puzzle, usually more than one. They range in quality from a Thomas the Tank Engine setup on a table to a full blown beautifully finished switching diorama.

Thanks for sharing--and 17 too.   There can be a lot of technology in this hobby, as much as most want.
