I'm reminded of an old joke ? Where I'm from [Ohio] Standard Oil was Sohio , Pennsylvania was Esso . The joke was about Standard Oil bees ? So the punch line was "The sohio bees can't go to

Glad to hear your on the right track Mark. I learned something new, my decoder does run in DC! i checked the digitrax website and you can change a cv to allow it to run in analog. I had no idea.

I thought you and many others in this group would enjoy seeing these pix. And they contain lots of modeling ideas to boot!

Happy New Year everybody. I've been lurking, but still under the weather, an extended thing we can't figure out. Thank heaven you're better, Jim. You had me and a lot of others worried, though I know
