I dont run command or dcs or tmcc or..... as I posted in another post, I almost finished an electrical engineering degree. I was always employed in the the cabling industry. I LOVE MASSIVE BUNDLES OF WIRE!! if I were to have it my way I would have a "Termination" room just for the sole purpose having all my relays and home made logic circuits in one area. I could find it almost as fun to sit in the door way of such a room looking at (and listening to) all the relays and wire and watching the logic status LEDS flashing about as fun as actually watching the trains.
Yep, I need to get a life!! RW
