They say good things come to those who wait and I think it's true. Got my first Scale Trains locomotive in the mail yesterday. A BNSF AC4400CW with BNSF Heritage II scheme. I finally see why they are loved by modelers. The sound and details are amazing! Definitely next level.

Good morning everyone! Weather should be nice here in North Texas with a high around 83F. Have to go into work for a bit today, but then it's off to dinner to celebrate my niece's 8th birthday. Other than that, just working on chores around the house this weekend.

Thank you Paul! Haven't done much lately, but working up plans to better handle DCC operations on a more permanent basis (getting old having to get everything out each time I want to run trains). Paul that's good to know about the additional panels. Fortunately I should just need the one which...

Working on a revamp of the layout with the base. Do you have a particular position that have a DCC controller mounted? I'm trying to figure out where to mount the plate for my Powercab.

Jet, I used SCARM to plan my first layout (also in the garage). It's free although there's a paid version with additional features. The free version worked just fine for my needs. Much, much more efficient to design, redesign, and redesign virtually before you buy any track etc. I went...

Not too long...January 27, 2023.

Got a very small bonus at work the other day, so I went out to the local hobby/train store earlier today. Got an Athearn Railbox combination door boxcar.
