Yeah Dzohn, Tony's going to DCC which allows what you mentioned. My locomotives are too old to convert so I'm stuck w/analog and one per controller. PaulE

Cut them 85 footers in half and install articulating hinges !!! :nerd: .........I was lucky, the railroad I was modeling was a single commodity carrier and I didn't have such headaches to plague my operations. A little track realignment is good for the old blood pressure:thinking: I hope you hadn't ballasted it yet. I am really liking the progress that you have made on this........it's now light years ahead of when it was all stacked up in your garage. Trains running by Christmas and your Birthday would be a "treat"........one step back, two forward.
