Scale time

The American  modellers are very good at that with their huge shelf type layouts where whole trains are passed from one block to the next.

When I started my layout in 1987, I attempted to emulate the American operating block idea.

Unfortunately,  all these years on, I've got a layout divided into block sections and neebody  to operate it with, so I find meself runnin' around the garage a lot!

Good way of keeping fit then!

That's the beauty of DCC control George, you can have as many automatic helpers as you need with the right computer software.  I'd hate to think how many operators I need when I'm running 10 - 14 trains at once some with shunting etc, as long as I program it right, the computer drives the trains but allows manual control whenever needed.

That is very, very cool Caz.
