Nice.  Did you upgrade your detection circuits yet?  If not, how'd the old logic take the new targets?

Old logic (Logic Rail Tech SAD-3) works just fine!  SAD-3 is OOP, but they make updated equivalents.  Seems the Alkem and the old NJIs are all common anode.  I still have my incorrect middle aspects, though...  I have about as much desire to redo all this work as I do to model New York Central.   :trollface:

DKS, good catch, mine go top left to bottom right when they should go bottom left to top right.

Aww, whatever.  I can also rewire them just to do stop and clear if necessary.

Sounds interesting! Just don't you dare suddenly pop up with an HOn3 DSP&P layout.

BTW, if you're interested in the DSP&P Historical Society, I can get you in touch with some local members.

The DSP&P Historical Society is more about the Colorado & Southern (which owned 50% of the CM). Unfortunately, someone else already owned the rights to "Colorado & Southern Historical Society", so they had to come up with something else. They're reasonably active as the Not-Rio-Grande alternative.

Are you using the Bowser Trainphone or GMM?

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

sound like great projects I`ve always wanted to add trainphone but I run under wire so my excuse for not having trainphone is that my line is under wire!

those are pretty easy DCC installs though just drop em in and run!


After i get out of tech school I`ll have to put your base on my list then I won`t have a problem getting my PRR fix!

Those move every couple of years is the one thing I didn't miss after I retired.
