11-1 18:43:41 ejshelton Have to trust someone else or stop a train.....if you should need to leave
11-1 18:43:28 soccrdad30 Thom, I think that is typical of most
11-1 18:42:58 rvn2001 I'm known for spending almost all of the time at the layout.
11-1 18:42:27 soccrdad30 usually no one leaves their layout
11-1 18:42:23 rvn2001 That's true too.
11-1 18:41:45 ejshelton True....but you rarely leave it unattended
11-1 18:41:40 rvn2001 That wouls work.
11-1 18:41:29 soccrdad30 unless using a DCC system
11-1 18:41:23 rvn2001 stoppine one set of tracks.
11-1 18:41:01 rvn2001 You couldn't leave it unattended without stoppin on set of tracks.
11-1 18:40:39 ejshelton Why not? we do switches
11-1 18:40:24 rvn2001 There would be a way to do it. I'm not sure about the electronics, though.
11-1 18:40:09 soccrdad30 just be careful of any crashes...
11-1 18:39:51 soccrdad30 so... in a layout one could have a cross over with separate tracks
11-1 18:39:46 rvn2001 Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....
11-1 18:39:27 ejshelton It would be interesting......have to try it
11-1 18:39:04 rvn2001 It could make an interesting layout, though.
11-1 18:38:19 soccrdad30 okay, good, got it
11-1 18:37:53 rvn2001 ...unless I left off the skyboards and connected 2 modules with a bridge of some sort.
11-1 18:37:35 soccrdad30 understand that
11-1 18:37:05 rvn2001 They would run into the skyboard...
11-1 18:36:42 soccrdad30 on a separate track going across
11-1 18:35:52 soccrdad30 but they could be?
11-1 18:35:35 rvn2001 Nope. The tracks I have are not powered in the 90 degree direction.
11-1 18:34:36 soccrdad30 dumb question, have you used that 90 degree crossing in anything yet? meaning are the crossing tracks on a separate power?
11-1 18:31:54 rvn2001 All (4) of the 90-degree crossings cause problems with some trains.
11-1 18:31:16 soccrdad30 okay, yeah
11-1 18:31:05 rvn2001 That's the module kit I won.
11-1 18:30:11 soccrdad30 is that the module you entered into AZL contest?
11-1 18:29:14 rvn2001 I need one more so that I can use the junction module to make a complete layout. I have to leave one module out of the layout as it is now.
11-1 18:27:48 ejshelton I've never seen it....but would still recognize it
11-1 18:27:26 soccrdad30 one more single module?
11-1 18:26:54 rvn2001 I think there will still be enough that will recognize it, though.
11-1 18:26:22 rvn2001 I do need to do one more single...
11-1 18:26:18 soccrdad30 I would agree with that Thom
11-1 18:25:43 rvn2001 I suspect that there will be a lot of people who won't understand it.....too young to have seen the movie.
11-1 18:25:31 soccrdad30 your next scene could be 'The Birds'
11-1 18:25:02 soccrdad30 ah
11-1 18:23:41 ejshelton He had to show me the movie so I'd understand it....lol
11-1 18:23:00 soccrdad30 poor Marian
11-1 18:22:37 rvn2001 There are no figures on the module. Just silhouettes of Mother in the house window and Marian Crane in the cabin next to the office.
11-1 18:21:58 soccrdad30 could paint one up...
11-1 18:21:20 soccrdad30 do you have a Z scale Norman Bates? :)
11-1 18:20:59 soccrdad30 I can understand, and that is why I went to that plus smaller area to decorate
11-1 18:20:53 rvn2001 I finished my Psycho module.
11-1 18:20:36 ejshelton We can go in just one car
11-1 18:20:14 rvn2001 The vehicle situation is one of the reasons I switched to T-Track-Z modules....easier to transport.
11-1 18:19:26 ejshelton It has been
11-1 18:19:20 rvn2001 It is!
11-1 18:19:06 soccrdad30 that sounds like fun
