  1. A comedian buys a house 🏠 in New Jersey, and apparently, this heroic act somehow "saves" a model railroad 🚂. Because nothing screams "lifesaver" like buying a property in the Garden State. 🙄 Kudos, #WSJ, for transforming real estate into the ultimate comedy routine. 😂

  3. New Page added to the DCCWiki:

    PECO: Unifrog Double Slip Wiring.

    The double slip adds operational challenges, and can be challenging to wire. There are four connections available, and PECO recommends completely isolating the turnout from adjoining trackage.

  11. PECO'S UNIFROG is a new turnout design, combining features of the Insulfrog and Electrofrog.

    Supplied as Insulfrog, easily changed to Electrofrog.

    It includes a wire to permit powering the frog. Compatible with #DCC when the instructions are followed.

  16. There are several ways of measuring the voltage on the track with Digital Command Control.

    Its nature means measurements may not reflect reality, and how the measurement is made is important.

    Digital multimeters often give misleading results due to how they actually measure the voltage.

  19. Trains.com was also part of the deal and will live on.

    Unfortunately the staff layout, the Milwaukee, Racine and Troy (MR&T) will be dismantled as the office building has been sold.

    After 90 years, Kalmbach Media's shareholders have decided to liquidate the company and its assets by end of year.

  23. I love my new addition to my OO9 (1:76) engine collection. #Hunslet 0-4-0 quarry #SteamLocomotives are just soo cute. But in real life they were operated under harsh conditions.

    This one can be seen at the #BalaLakeRailway in #Wales. And this little model, made by #Bachmann, can be obtained there too.
