John,
Thanks for the update, I was about to ask about this but than remembered your making the move and held back my inquiry.
Ray
Guns,
Drop me some e-mail on the cost of the Legacy Signal Boosting Unit, so far the 29x18 room seems to be allowing the Legacy signal to be strong enough to cover all the different Track. However there is a heck of a lot of FasTrack to lay yet, and I may need one of Dale's Legacy Signal boosting units, before this is all completed.

John,
P&P has a large layout with major TMCC issues. We also run trains 7 days a week and would gladly provide further testing of the booster.

John, Dale conducted Beta testing at the P & P club in Scottsdale, AZ. I believe our club would be very willing to assist you in your work. You have Ron Smith, our club VP's contact information. We have several units on order with you.
Thanks, Dave
I'll have to build up another one, and then I'll send it out to you guys for testing.
Dave, I'll put you on the list to get the email when I'm ready to do the production build.
Hey John, just prior to Dale's passing he performed some tests on our layout here in LA at AGHR. The signal was vastly improved. We are very interested. Just want to confirm that you have us on the list when the booster is available.
Jeff
You're on the list Jeff.

Dave, do you live in Surprise, AZ ? If so, please contact me thru my email listed in my profile.
Hi John: Sounds good to me. Please add me to your list to purchase one when they become available. Andy

Since you have no profile email address, it will be hard to add you to any list.

Hard to do with no profile email.
I hope I have it now. Sign me up for the signal booster. A few years ago I was trying to build the track digitizer Dale was making, Have all the parts but never finished it.
Do you know if any did make one yet?
James
I don't know if anyone made a track digitizer, I'm not entirely sure of it's function. That must be a discussion I missed. 
You're added to the list. Booster production got slowed down by my move, but it'll happen.
That had to be the digital meter with the filter to read the 455 KHz peak to peak voltage level coming from the base U terminal.
We actually added in the ability to directly monitor the track signal for the TMCC Buffer, and there are also "signal quality" LED's to indicate the gross quality of the input command base signal.

I have been out of the OGR Forum loop for a long while with health issues and did not know of Dale's passing. I commend you for producing the DM Booster and donating a portion of funds to Dale's Legacy. Although I do not need a Booster I wish to contribute to Dale's Legacy fund. If its okay I will send you a check for my anonymous contribution to the $ pool that you send to his family.

Please add my name to your list for a TMCC signal booster. Thanks
Hi John, thank you for adding me to the list.

I think I will go ahead and just use mine for these features alone. This does sound like a very interesting device!!
(Also, hoping you do still have me on the list of purchasers, if not please add me!)
I haven't dropped anyone from the list. The project just has gotten a delay due to my move, I've got boxes everywhere, and I'm packing up my shop and parts now.
I hope all is going well with the move, sounds like you are getting close if you are down to the shop and parts. I'm sure you will be glad when it's all over and you get set up again in the new place! Then you have to sit back and take it all in for a while, admiring the new location while enjoying some favorite adult beverages!! I was just wanting to make sure I was on the list, which I think I was.
John
If it's not late, please add me to your list for a TMCC signal booster.
Thanks
Terry
Not too late, my move has stuck a delay into getting this all organized.
John,
Don't have the layout built yet, but please put me on your list too. Good luck with finishing the move.
Ron L
Gotcha'
John, between the storms, the move and the normal day to day stuff, have you managed to unpack yet? I just unpacked my final box 5 years after we moved in.
Nope, we're actually taking up residence here on Wed, moving most of our stuff and living here. We still have a bunch of furniture at the old place for staging to sell it.
Well, the light seems to be the end of the tunnel, so your getting closer. Life will get much more relaxed in a year or two :-) Have you been able to do any layout work?
John,
After just moving our home, I highly recommend finding and unpacking your tools 1st, it saves a lot of aggravation and makes things a lot easier.
Good luck with completing your move, I am still unpacking after a few months and still looking for some of my tools. The new Train Room is partially constructed however!
PCRR/Dave
Well, the light just went out in the tunnel! 
Turns out we're having a major snowstorm on Wed, so we've changed the move to Friday, hopefully things will be cleaned up by then! I'm really getting SICK of winter, did I mention that? It's spring, and I'm looking for that groundhog, he's a goner if I get him in my sights!
Dave, I moved all my tools and trains several months ago, however that's somewhat complicated things as I'm now split between two locations. The only good thing is, when power was out for three days at my old house, we came over to the new one and had heat, power, TV, and Internet. 
John, Snowstorms are a big part of why I now live in Phoenix, I spent the last winter we lived in Eastern Washington State, hugging the pellet stove. My son videocalled Christmas morning in his tank top and swim suit next to the pool, and rubbed it in. Add in the only grandkids and we moved that fall. I lived in snow country for 55 years and decided it wasn't worth the arthritic misery to see the snow, now I drive 3 hours to Flagstaff and get all of it I want and then come home.
Once you actually pass the old house off to its new owner, it begins to get better, and all the effort goes into the home your in. I had 9 months before actually got started on my layout, but in the summer heat, got tons done under A/C and now have a 80% done layout 3 years later. Trains were running within a month of starting, so at least I got to hear clickity clack as toiled along.

Ron S,
Congrats on your move to AZ, fantastic place to live. Your FasTrack multi level layout looks fantastic also! Recently moved myself and am loving our new place. Have the new Train room just under half built.
John did his move in a decent manner, ours was done correctly, however in a little quicker manner. I agree with Guns, want winter to end, need to work on the old house and get rid of it. Need some decent weather, the snow and cold are hindering everything. Long cold winter here when I wanted at least a normal one, just after the move.

Hi John,
Can you please add me to your list of customers for the Poster.
Thanks
Mikey
Will do Mikey
Dave, Mom was from Meadville, I stopped in several times during the winter to see Aunts/Uncles and cousins, the humidity and length of your winters always reinforced why I was glad my stints back east were over. I do miss having a basement but have overcome that shortcoming with a loft.
I went with Fastrack because I have 27 switches and like how they perform. I spent the 9 months before started refiguring the layout in RR Track until felt had it close. Once I started, the number of switches reduced from 36 to 27 and one loop lost its siding so landscaping could be added in the future. I keep looking at the boxes of trees, groundcover and details and know when summers heat blazes, I need to begin beautifying the area.
I was well on my way when grandkids began popping out, so it took me 3 years to get this far.
Ron
John, Groundhog season is always open when winter extends beyond February :-)
Loading the .22 and 12ga into the car, I'm ready to find those troublesome rodents!
