When I was watching the weather on Channel 10 a couple of days ago, they had a short preview segment on the PCC Show, which they called "The Albany Train Show." Most of the film was on the basement la

Geoff, The Hyde Park Station / Hudson Valley Railroad Society (HVRRS) sent the following regarding the Poughkeepsie Train Show to its email list: 3. The train show is ON for this year. It will be Nove

Thanks for the info, Rod. That is a big cost savings. I am modelling en eralier era (1950-ish +/- 5 or so years) and unfortunately those cars look a little too modern for that. Still, it's great info.

Rod, That is very cool. Are those cars with headlights all Woodland Scenics Just Plug or something else? I once came across lit cars where East Coast Circuits modified some Classic Metal Works Cars wi

Geoff, Thank you so much for asking and checking in with us. Still working hard. Not retired like most of you. While our office has been attached to the home forever and we are used to WFH (Work From

I agree with using the club logo. It's good to be consistent with our "branding." Cheers, "John Henry"

Technically we do have a logo, but obviously you can always change it. A long time ago, there was a vote to use the NYC Cigar Band style logo with our club name and website url on it. The one attached

You may strike my remarks for T-Trak, but not for NTrak. Sorry for any confusion. Regards, "John Henry" Low

Dan, The NTrak wiring specs are in the NTrak Manual, which can be downloaded from www.ntrak.org on the publications page. First wiring references start on page 4, but most are from page 8 on. What wil

I agree. I know I will miss him greatly. Regards, "John Henry" Low

That's brand new from what I read. May I suggest just deferring our decision for a bit. I haven't done any real research, but it appears to offer similar functionality as JMRI Wi-Throttle, but without

Nice to hear from you, Matt. Congrats on the kiddos, and sorry you have moved away. Did you give up the house in Milan? I agree with Doug about parenting being more than full time work. I used to have
