  • Your NCE does it control stationary turn outs as well ?

  • @MrMuddshovel

    Yes, I can control each turnout with the addition of an NCE Snap-It decoder to each of the twin-solenoid turnout motors.

    It was my operators who insisted that I added a control panel with toggle switches, as well

  • Amazing, incredible work, Jonny!

  • @Makntak

    Thanks mate. love the user name.

  • Dear John, A question, with DCC and intensive switching operations, how do you find handling questions from the viewers? Is it easy to interact with the crowd without bringing the layout to a stop (or having a catatrophic issue due to momentary inattention to the train movement),

    or is the priority on the train movement, (focus on layout, backs to crowd),

    and therefore possibly giving the crowd the impression that the operators are ignoring them?

    Inquiring minds would like to know...

  • @profklyzlr

    Good question. I try to answer all questions and other stuff, like inviting the youngsters to ring the bell or blow the whistle. Sometimes I can continue with a switching move while talking. Other times I stop the loco in a prominent position and the loco goes through it's repetoir of hisses, banging and shovelling.

    I got sick of operating from behind the backscene on previous layouts and staring at people's bellies. From the front, I can get immersed in the modelled scene.

    Jon

  • @MrMuddshovel I guess its good to have both .

  • Been a fan of your work for a long time. Fabulous stuff!

  • Your layout is utter perfection! The only fault I can find is that you don't travel to the Northeast with it! :) Loving all these new videos lately too.

  • That was pretty cool!!!! The layout looked very real!!! Great job!!!!
