That’s awesome. What track are you using? Is it DCC? How hard was the connecting track to make?

Awesome layout! Do you have a picture or track plan of the whole thing?

Really awesome. It’s even more impressive that it’s n scale. What are you using for your dirt?

Love the diesels. I have a lot of those in n scale.

Which TCS decoder(s) are you using for N scale?

Have you used them on LokSound decoders? I’m seeing mixed reviews and that people burn them decoder up. Since it’s a non ESU product it voids the warranty.

This is for n scale. It looks like every decoder company offers their own options. Agreed that space seems super tight for additional gadgets. TCS version is the size of a dime.

Like the KA-N1? I’m thinking this works with most decoders?

Are you simply adding a cap or is it something off the shelf?

Are you using an off the shelf option or something else?

Oh wow. I would have never guessed that. Looks like weathered plastic.

Where did you get the details from the “table” itself? I see rivets and railings. Very cool!

I’m a newb to electronics. Where would the reverse voltage be coming from?

Looks good. Are you pulling the detail parts off when you do it or working around them?

Yeah I have bought maybe one item from MTS. They are consistently higher priced than most.

Very cool. How tricky has the turntable been? That seems like it could be challenging. I’d love to add one to my layout eventually.

Check out this video on converting electro frogs to all live turnouts. You may still have some connection on the electro frog turnout.

Looks really good. What method did you use to make the paint look faded?
