    Delaware, Lackawana and Western Coal

    There is one crude piece of graffiti, since &SON was breast fed, and the Docs believe it saved his life, We both agree with the statement. But that doesnt mean I translated it for him. I simply stated it was something that probably did not need to be spray painted on the wall. JR&SON

    Running power over CAT5e cable

    If you are talking about a small 4X8 layout or something simular, I would give it a try by pairing or even quadrupling the "running" leads. Cat 5 has 8 wires, that would give you 4 negatives and 4 positives, Im guessing several amps worth. NOT ideal for a huge layout, but should work fine...

    Brass track?

    Guys, I tried some of this: Oster Blade Wash and have been very happy with the results so far, it acts more or less as a 2 in one. Cleans like crazy and leaves behind a film of lube JR&SON

    SCR Throttles

    MX033 PWM DC Motor Speed Controller The above is not an SCR, its a MOSFET Works VERY well though They make a cheaper version but it whines horribly! This one is good to 15 amps. I loaded one to more than 10 amps and it barely warmed up Both of mine needed minor repairs on arrival The 1st one...

    Power - When does the room go *boom*?

    Better yet You can pick up a fairly inexspensive "inductive" amp meter. Go to the breaker box and check it. JR&SON

By working the weakness of one, to counter act the weakness of the other...
