Hello again, Surgery went real well, So now I've got some time on my hands I thought I would build some thing for the layout. I got the idea from the October 2001 MR and since I've had the DPM modular systems for a couple years I thought I might as well do something with them. Their...

Wolv, I've got another idea that might not work. If I'm thinking correctly, which I think I am, This Idea won't cost anything to try. What if you took a piece of flex track and cut the rail heads off on the inside of the rails and moved one rail over towards the other in a hour glass type...

Wolv, I saw you delemer at the 2002 Spingfield Mass Train Show, They were sending cars down the hump and into the yard. Their cars where going rather fast as the hump was huge in height, ( prototyipical humps are not realy all that tall ) They used compressed air to slow them down. The...

1. Insulated rail joiners block power from one track to the next. And are used mostly for blocking one section of track from another such as a siding. I'd use the nickle silver joiners. 2. I always solder the joints together. I have less problems with the tracks seperating. 3. I use a MRC...

This is my favorite picture, Why I don't realy know. Maybe because it's night time and the way the light is hitting the track it kinda makes it look lonely. Hope you enjoyed..:) :)
