@Corvette Rob posted:Hi Scott, I've been researching PTC's and learned so much from this post. Thanks for starting it and sharing your incident. I really liked your note about using your post-war engines and the joy it brings. I have many memories of my dad and brothers enjoying our trains and I'm just getting back to the hobby. I'm trying to learn about the new stuff but as I age, it becomes harder and harder. That's why I'm still running my older engines as well and mixing in some TMCC stuff. Bob
I'm glad to hear that it made a difference to someone. To me, it is much more enjoyable to "build" your own setup, than to just go out and buy it. I prefer to do the former. We lost our son in a traffic accident five years ago and I have been searching for just about anything that will be some kind of joy back into life. This helps do it for me. It's not a panacea, but, when I am immersed in working on my trains, I don't think about other things in my life.
