Trains.....

Well, I am getting closer to having things set up so I can actually run
my trains again. yay! So far I have 2 straight sections wired and ready
to connect. I have the 4 curves about halfway done so I'm getting closer.

Going DCC

Well, I got my DCC decoder and installed it today. I'm getting back to
working on the trains again and have 2 modules set to hook up now. A
little more work and I'll be able to actually set it up downstairs and
run the train once in a while. The best part of it is I an take a
section out and work on it upstairs or swap it out for another one if I
want to.
