Rusty,
I won't get rid of my S, only trying to figure if or how to enjoy it under the present circumstances.
I was looking at the Flyonel Pacific at Hennings today, too expensive and a different operation system.
Rod,
I have steam from the 40s & 50s upgraded to DCC, as most of the club layout was this. I also have Flyer Chief engines, which require nothing else but an upgrade of ZW with modern circuit breakers.
The possibility of moving makes me hesitant to build a layout, and the tornado flooded the basement (only the 2nd time that's happened since I lived in the house).
