Re: [NF] Who on this list is a train nut?
This spring I will be laying some track for an O Scale railroad around my garden. Nothing like a full size train, but just as time consuming.

Re: [NF] Who on this list is a train nut?
In fact, the 'real' driver is on her side. All the driving she has done (and that I have done too) is 'illegal' and able only because we know the driver and because he is confident. Driving a passenger train is very easy when all is ok. The main difficulty is obeing (to obey) the signals and the speed limits. I do think the real driver has driven the last mile first to stop at the right point and second because there is a lot of chiefs on the platforms ! Driving a freight train is a lot more complicated because brakes are very slow and unefficient. Problems raise when something is wrong.

Re: [NF] Who on this list is a train nut?
My scale is definitely O and not G. I decided on O because the price of rolling stock, etc. is 50% less plus I can get much more operation in the same space. G scale is too toylike for my taste. In the U.S. O scale is 1:48 not 1:43. I suppose this thread has gotten out of hand and the NF police will be after me soon. So I will sign off on it.

RE: Screen Hacking a Problem...
Hey Frank - I gotta agree - I find Screens easier to maintain as well. As for SCX's being slower than PRG's - and someone followed up with some Stats - I think those stat's are old. I only say that - because computers are SO Much faster these days - that I don't think it would generally be noticeably slower to a user whether its SCX or PRG's. IMHO. I also just wanted to follow up say - my Boss is LOVING what I have been doing. Its all coming along - creating this conversion program - and so far its working well. Of course, I'm still working on the program - its not ANYWHERE Near completed. But, it does A LOT So far! So, I'm still plugging away at it...

Hey Dan, I would think that harder to maintain is very subjective as I find them much much much easier to maintain than PRGs. Do you have some statistics to backup your assertion that running an SCX is slower than a PRG (I have no doubt it is, but I'd like to see by how much). Thanks Frank.

RE: Can NOT Un-Minimize a System
Actually - the machine my Boss is testing this system on - its XP. And, I'm developing on Win7. The problem we had - was occurring on both machines. I also tried to see if by disabling this command - that if I clicked off the main form - that it would get hidden.

RE: Screen Hacking a Problem...
Yeah - that's kinda what I'm talking about. With technology so fast these days - your really only going to notice something get slow if there is a LOT OF SH-T going on to cause a slow down. Like, doing 3D CG rendering - truth is - we almost never have enough power to make that happen quickly. But, that being said - there are now realtime renderers for creation of 3D images that actually happens on the Video Board. But, still - you need to blow a LOT of money on the kinda card that actually works well enough - we're talking like $3K to $5K just for a video card like that.
