But you can email me at quinntopia with the email domain being '@ hotmail dot com'<br /><br />I hope that makes sense! The trolley/tram is reversed using an auto-reversing mechanism. I forgot which brand. There are many choices.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454470373325096585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530989713679372474.post-21160166554872126852014-02-09T07:18:46.666-08:002014-02-09T07:18:46.666-08:00mr. Quinn,

Your layout has inspired me to create a N scale layout of my own, adjacent to my my O scale layout. <br /><br />I have a question to ask! How do you get your LRV's to reverse direction. An Oh, what are the dimensions of your system.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />L.Q. la Salle<br />Perkasie, PAAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15663128708208815431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530989713679372474.post-70816979963428803922010-09-04T16:22:11.725-07:002010-09-04T16:22:11.725-07:00About DCC, as I mentioned in previous posts it'...About DCC, as I mentioned in previous posts it's a personal choice, and one that costs a bit more indeed. <br /><br />To me the most important advantage is wiring (hence time saving). Looking at your extension, you'd stick a few decoders under the switches and just have to lay 2 wires back to the controller...and no cable mess with manual switches.<br /><br />Anyway if you ever go for it, don't hesitate to ask, I have well learned the do's and don't in the last year :-) and many other regular commenters surely have good inputs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530989713679372474.post-74791637680646564122010-09-03T21:25:34.388-07:002010-09-03T21:25:34.388-07:00Thanks everyone for your encouraging comments!

As you may have noticed from my post, making this sort of change was not an easy commitment...as La Saucisse says, it puts me even further away from running trains!<br /><br />DON: Absolutely have no plans to change the parade curve...the photo looks like I'm tearing it out (!), but I'm actually just moving or expanding the portal underneath it.<br /><br />PASCAL: Your work has been a big influence on me! I really love those curves! I don't have the room to do anything close to what you've done, but hopefully you will see some indications of your inspiration in my expanded area!<br /><br />SUDSANA: Yes, there will be a bit more 'countryside' in this expanded version...of course, I have this internal debate with myself about where the urban areas will end and the rural take over...we'll see what happens!<br /><br />PIERRE: Funny you mention that...as I wait for my track materials to arrive (most of it has to be ordered from Germany), I've been drafting up my new control panel and figuring out how to wire everything. I am wondering if this is the time to make the switch!Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454470373325096585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530989713679372474.post-1871983843946043332010-09-03T13:09:08.762-07:002010-09-03T13:09:08.762-07:00Time for DCC switch control !

Do you have any idea whether the new area will be rural or urban? Might be nice to include some villages and trees on one section of Quinntopia!Sudasanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16052498926889454273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530989713679372474.post-24435558200627796532010-08-31T12:46:22.777-07:002010-08-31T12:46:22.777-07:00Cannot wait to see it expand!
