I just completed my track, so putting lots of locomotives into service for first time. While I like all of the features of the QSI, the Soundtrax equipped locos are easier to program and more reliable for me so far. Anyway, I have put four QSI equipped Atlas locomotives into service without too...

I have an NCE Power Pro system. Just had it a few weeks. Works great, love it. However, I have several Atlas engines with QSI Titan sound decoders. When I put them on the program track, the NCE can not read the decoder manufacturer or model. Help! Also, second issue, I can't get Decoder Pro to...

I just started using an airbrush using Propel canned air. Time to buy a compressor. Can anyone recommend a specific brand or model? Looking for a small unit, just airbrushing model railroad stuff, but want a good, no hassle, reliable unit. Cost is secondary to quality. Thanks for any help!

Great discussion in another thread on NCE vs Digitrax. Anyone using the CVP EasyDCC system? It shows up in Model Railroader videos a lot. And their new wireless throttle seems great. Thoughts?

After no model railroad for the last 8 years, I can at long last once again have a layout. I am 60 years old and with any luck, this one will last the rest of my life. The space available is in a clean, dry, well lit, finished basement room about 22' x 15.5' but with a need to accommodate...
