Hi all
Thanks DK and Fred. Good info and I'm going thru what I will do.
as to TMCC, well, adding another - in my case a bunch - of TMCC accessories with all of the otherLegacy/TMCC data/comm issues that this will hive me, LEVERS, more fun as DK has described. Pretty much where my layout is headed.
FYI. I'll call moles to see if the have ribbon cables, pre assembled to work with my IM cranes.
