OK...here's a question for the old timers.  What are the pros and cons of using sprung trucks.  I seem to have more problems with them the non sprung.  Thanks to all.

I've used just a dab of hot glue.  You can easily take track up and remove glue with a razor blade.

Pro Box arrived today.........looks like my coverage problem has been taken care of.   Now I get to really play with the decoders.

Check out this link.

I know there is no way to connect to a computer.  Good thing too.......I'd have to buy another one just for the trains.  Best not to complicate things more than they already are.

Hunt,  thanks for that user's guide.  I don't know how many hours I spend looking for something like that.  I'll read up on it before my unit gets here.  Thanks again.

Thanks for the info.  I've have a Pro Box coming next week.  My problem is the area I have for the layout.  Small basement area that I have to share with the furnace And a bunch of storage shelves.  The layout is 12 X 21 "L" shape around the furnace for now,  so I loose line of sight with the base sometimes.  But for some reason I loose contact with the base at about 12' straight line of sight.  I thought about putting up some mirrors to bounce the signal like you can with a TV remote but hopefully won't have to with the Pro Box.  Thanks for the info on what comes with the Pro Box.  No matter what add I read for it nothing was ever said as to what came with it.  I'll let everyone how it works out.

Can anyone tell me what else is needed along with the pro box to have several IR receivers set around a layout.  The range on my basic Dynamis is only about 10' and I need  about 20'.  Can't seem to find out what comes with the Pro Box, i.e.: IR receiver.  Thanks for any info you can give me.

Bill,  there is a tape called Frog Tape.  It actually congeals the paint that touches the edge so no paint runs under the tape.   Really gives a clean line.  I've gotten it at Home Depot.

Good grief..........I started with flex with fiber ties....what a pain.  Also had some of those rubber band locos.  Thank god you can get RTR stuff now.  Between the eyeballs not working properly and the fingers beat to hell from working for a living I think anything I build from a kit would look like nothing more than a ball a glue.

Found some brass flex track and panels with a load of atlas switches for turnouts along with slide switches I used for blocks and some dpdt toggles. Even a bunch of LE D's with resistors for block indicators.  Everything else I must have given to the kids...........can't remember back that far.  I'm going DCC this time around but with mostly switch actuated turnouts.  It's enough controlling the trains with a hand held let alone the turnouts.  I can't even used a playstation controller worth a damn. 

After 45yrs I'm finally getting back into the hobby.  Wow, a lot of changes but yet somethings never change  DCC....wireless.....no brass, but still Plasticville, Atlas and the others.  OK...I have to ask.....what ever happend to brass track?  I remember n/s being a more expensive option now it's seams to be the standard.  When did it change?

Kevin

Good thing I have more money now than I did than.

Thanks, I think I'll get another one just in case.

Does anyone know if the Backmann reversing loop module can be hooked up to handle 2 loops?
