Dave, I wrote my first post off of Page 1 because I had just discovered your post about your layout.  Now I'm finished with page 5 and I have to tell you, you've done a tremendous amount of work in a very short time over the last few months or so, you've done so much it made me tired reading all of it and I ended up dozing off for a while.  Just kidding, the reading is fantastic and your ideas are very creative.  I wish I had your energy.  Your scenery work is impeccable and I really love your rock work.  I hope, once you get everything up and running, you will post some videos.  Also, I may have missed it or just forgot that I read about it but what type of control systems will you be using?  I'm really looking forward to seeing more of your layout as you progress.  Thank you so much for your posts and photos, you have really given a lot of inspiration to many of us.  I almost forgot, I love your benchwork and I agree with another member, it has a very professional look to it, your woodworking skills show in many ways.  Cheers and happy modeling.

Good Morning JEM! Your kind words were nice to wake up to and motivate me. To answer your question I run MTH DCS and Lionel Legacy for 3 Rail and for my 2 Rail section I use NCE. I also have the capability to run conventionally.

I do plan to post videos and will include links as I do so.

I can take the credit for many things on the layout but I can't for my bench work. I had help with that from a wonderful "train guy" in my area. The more time passes I realize how much I took it for granted. There is so much that can be done with it and I'm starting to do just that.

Welcome aboard and tell your wife I said hello.

Dave
