MTH HELP IN THE SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN AREA,WAYNE/WASHTENAW COUNTIES | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Jerry AOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Hi all,

I have just pretty much finished my layout with post-war Lionel tubular track. It is a 38 by 21 foot layout. I am now wanting to get involved with MTH Trains along with my Lionel and I'm hoping there might be somebody in my general area that can give me a hand as far as wiring is concerned or MTH stuff in general. I live between Ann Arbor and Plymouth. If anyone could give me a call my number is 734-453-1809 or please leave me your number and I will call you. Any help appreciated.

Thank you, Jerry

Jerry,

I strongly suggest that you first educate yourself regarding DC by purchasing a copy of The DCS Companion 3rd Edition.

DCS Book Cover

Everything that you need to know about DCS is all in “The DCS Companion 3rd Edition!"

This book is available from many fine OGR advertisers and forum sponsors, or as an eBook or a printed book at OGR’s web store!

Follow Barry's advice, get the DCS Companion and follow the wiring guidelines (and all the other advice) in the book. I recommend the print copy.

If the layout is up and running, I would not rewire.

Thanks guys. I do have a copy of the DC as companion I bought several months ago and am going through it right now but nothing beats hands on.

Thank you very much, Jerry
