Dead Rail (how to get back into it after 20 years )

Dave KoehlerOGR Forum Member

Can any one give me some guidance on starting up with Dead rail , I used it extensively 20 years ago, when I was in G, but I see things have changed! I currently have a roster of 2 A class 4-4-2 Weaver Hiawatha's , an F7 4-6-4 Weaver Hiawatha , a K Line semi scale 4-6-2 and a William's brass 4-6-2 in black. I am not a fan of white smoke, so I have removed the smoke units ( if any one invents black smoke I might re=install them) As far as sound , I am familiar Phoenix sound ( not a fan of Lionel's ) but I am open . I need help in Trans miters, receivers , and current batteries. All My loco's will be track powered by a flick of a switch.
