How is it not working the way you expect?

Hello, Rich. GregC answers (asks?) this question over in the electronics/Dcc forum under the title Calling RichHOTrain.
Don't forget the younger generations love thier electrical doohickeys. A well thought out website might be of value in gaining more interest in the younger set and educational. Like Adriano's and those interested in electronics in high school or middle school. The hobby gives them a place to put thier Adriano or pi. Ideas to a practical or demonstrative use. We as older gen mostly don't see or are as interested in the value of electronics aspect as the younger. There is however much to be said about knowing oldschool. And it's value

That version of my screen name was first assigned to me about 15 years ago on the CTT forum. I love it.

Recently, I was having an issue with speed matching my new Rapido F7B unit. The problem stemmed from my lack of knowledge and understanding of DCC that comes from not enough time to do everything in life, though we try. After asking numerous questions on this and other forums, Facebook pages and groups like the NCC group, I had my answers. The best info I got was through some articles that a few people had sent privately so as to avoid copyright issues. I got a good education through this material that was given to me but I never would have found it otherwise.
I think a site like "ModelRailroadingPedia" or "ModelRailroadingWiki" would be of great benefit and could cover all topics including the science involved of both prototype and model. The sky is the limit on what could be included. It would be a tremendous amount of work to maintain and police if the Wiki route was the path taken.
My kid has appeared in a few Marvel movies and TV shows as an extra but even though he was an extra he has played the role of certain characters that have a name and history in the Marvel universe. On the MarvelWiki site, his roles are listed but what is different from IMDB where his role/part is credited is the history of the character is given in some detail. More to digest for those that wish to consume it. More to digest for model railroaders would be well received as you can never have too much info.
A comprehensive Pedia site for the hobby could greatly complement all the info already out there but would be a lot of work. If you could get it producing revenue it could be a worth while endeavour. Maybe one exist already, I have not looked.
Oh ya, when the kid asks me to do something for him, I just remind him of all the superpowers he has and he can just do it himself.
