I was messing around with the lift up bridges that give access to the center control area of the layout tonight to see how square the layout was, it was not off by much so I got them aligned and decided to clear most the junk off of it to give myself a sanity check. Here are so photos of it.
I don’t have much motive power yet and what I do have is conventional, but I came to the conclusion after studying information on the forum about it that I am going to use the MTH DCS system combined with the Lionel TMCC command base to give me flexibility with what I purchase. I don’t see myself getting the Legacy engines yet because I think the best value is in the new/old stock TMCC Lionel stuff and the older MTH stuff. I can always upgrade to the Legacy system later.
