Your thinking is the driving force. If you believe you cannot get'er done then you absolutely cannot get'er done. If you believe you WILL make it happen, then you will make it happen.
If you wish to work with a very capable R/C installer with a high degree of business ethics consider Robert Buck of York PA, robert@gscaleinstallations.com. He has his own 0 scale 2 rail indoor RR and a large outdoor G scale RR plus he works in three rail R/C. His home based shop is close to the York fair grounds.
He has done some neat and clean work for my clients and friends and is very reasonable priced. Robert can set you up with a basic install or all the bells, whistles, etc etc.
