While I am looking forward to the AMRE in June, this update from Will James from "Warrnambool Model Train Show, Victoria, Australia" makes me think about building a layout. Well, finishing my layout.

I particularly like the multi-gauge layouts and the micro layouts;

This is also the time to get my head around #DCC.
I am sure this tech can be used else where, not just on #model #railway layouts.

How decoders are addressed confuses many. Multifunction decoders have 2 modes: Primary & Extended. Accessory decoders have 9 or 11 bit addresses. Not confusing at all.😀

Soldering: It's not hard. The right solder + rosin flux combination makes it work. An ESD safe soldering iron is a must for soldering on decoders.

Soldering for DCC

Soldering is the process of joining two metals together using a metal alloy called solder. It is often used in electrical devices.

1950's Lionel train still works.
Muteud the video because the horn motor is wigging out and making awful squeaking noises. I need to fix that and you guys don't need to hear it.
