Looks great, Mark--nice job!
Just curious.....how is the operation of the DCS with the TIU where you have it? I remember Marty Fitzhenry telling me that the TIU needs to be at track level for everything to work properly.

John, Thank you very much! The TIU mounted under the layout works great in an 11x11 room. I'm sure Marty was right if you were trying to cover a basement sized layout like his. Also, if the signal has to go around corners, it could be problematic. I recall trying to operate in the family room (that was to be Plan C) with the TIU near where I have it now. Since the 11x11 room is an addition, the signal wouldn't make it through a concrete block and brick wall. If I held the remote out at arms length to be a more direct line of sight through the door, then it was fine.
