In the interview they mention that HO trains really aren't meant for that kind of long hard usage. A much smaller local layout built in a children's hospital has some of the same issues, with the worst performer being Thomas the Tank Engine. I would hope that the S layout in Cleveland or

I have been waiting for about an hour for QSI to call back. It is holding me up here. Maybe someone here knows the answer. I originally has a NCE motor decoder installed. When I got the QSI I unplugged the NCE and plugged in the QSI. All was fine but the class lights on the green light wire

Hi Bob, Thanks for the nice remarks. I’m struggling to come up with ideas for what I can put on the warehouse loading dock to liven up the scene a bit. I don’t have a prototype photo of that area so I have to freelance. My imagination is limited, that’s why I copy the real thing g. Sounds
