Me thinks Ed. L. just may know of what he speaks! I know for a fact he has a friend, possibly more than just one friend too. This friend has a million dollar home, with a million dollar basement, and it is right on the San Andreas fault! He has a million dollar railroad in the basement. It is one grand walk around affair, 400 plus locomotives, 1000's of rolling stock models, all the locomotives are sound and DCC, two seperate rooms in the home; One for the Western Maryland dispatcher and one for the B&O dispatcher, computers and moniters every where, big flat screen monitors in the dispatch rooms just like the UP. underground dispatch center. Monitors all over the layout for the operators, a fully function signal system on the layout. A special operations program Just so he can run this thing by himself if need be. I think this friend of Ed's knows a thing or two from actual experience. It is all HO of course and not S, I went there, stood in one of the river channels, kept my fat mouth shut and listened while he spoke. He obviously knows a lot more than me.
