We had command control back then.... it was Don T's or Don D's brains! The many hours I spent under modules because the systems did not work is still a problem today. When people do not wire their modules correctly.... DCC will not work either.
So nothing has changed really.... except maybe the need for those magnificent control panels that several people built. Since I have not yet seen any modular S layouts built with several visiting modules along with host modules in any of the crazy configurations we made in those days, I am not convinced that these days... are any simpler. And the problem with trying to use different systems (Lenz vs NCE vs etc) on the same layout makes me believe that we simply replaced one kind of confusion with another one. We did not have that problem way back then.... ha ha Just my 2.75 cents... --- In [email protected], "Bill Lane" wrote: > > David, > > > > The S-Mod wiring system was designed in the mid 80s well before anything > digital or command existed.
