| WHAT"S THE DEAL WITH DCC HARDWARE? | This post is really just a rant I have about (most) DCC hardware. Tell me, do you really think this stuff looks good?

| TRIX MOBILE STATION WOES | Yet another post where I either complain or rant about a product.

That's why you got into trains, remember? | |

 | BUS WIRING (DEMYSTIFIED!) | I switched from a rudimentary wiring system to a real 'wired bus' system. So...what the heck is a 'wired bus'? This confused me, but I finally figured it out. This is another 'ah ha!' moment for me. |
