Thanks for the input gentlemen, As I knew the controllers I have now are a basic starting point but not what I'd need for the future. I like the Dynamis and the MTH DCS commander..hard call, for me, to decide on which.
No christmas layout for this- My planned layout will be 5' wide and done in an "L" at 8' on the one end and 10' on the other end...that should be enough space- I hope! I'm trying to figure in some elevated and lowered trackage to keep the grade at 2-3%...zero point would be flat and if I can get the numbers right I can ease the grades over the lengths a tad easier by the old cookie cutter board set up...just gotta get it all on paper via "anyrail 5" 1st.
My 3 rail Ac has the old lionel log loader and unloader and a coaling bin so my son has some things to do...I know he'll get bored watching the trains just run around, but he's already showed me that "the sounds make it funner"{his termage-he's 7}.
Almost wish Bachmann would make some action cars for On30 to bring the kids into it..might make it toylike then at that point, but as always, to get the kids in will make for more long term users...what did we start on when we were young?
