What is the difference in the PBS-11 and PBS-8?  I thought when using track power, the two boards were the same?  I thought the added memory was only significant during battery power.  Can you I'm new also?

Thanks very much.

I forgot to ask your opinion on the Aristo C-16 pulling LGB cars?  Are the scales close enough?  I know the C-16 is 1/24 but I'm sure about the LGB.

I'll go with them then.  They appeared to be a soft plastic so I was concerned.  Thanks for the advice.

I'm a new to Large scale.  Does Bachmann sell a metal passenger truck replacement.  The only one I saw in the catalog was a J. Sharpe which appeared to be plastic. If not Bachmann, what manufacturer would the forum recommend.  Bachmann metal wheels will be mounted.  I recently got a few LGB D&RGW passenger cars but noticed the trucks were plastic.  I was surprised thinking LGB was the Cadillac of Large scale but their trucks are plastic (soft like Lionel) with little detail.  Freight trucks will be too short according to what I read on this forum.  Any advice?  Thanks.
