We are about to enter a 3 month work session and will be replacing the A/B panel. This panel has been in the works for many years and it is finally about ready to be installed. Come by and see the new panel around the end of this month, MARCH, and give a big thanks and how great it looks to JOHN F, BILL D and Pat M. They have spent many countless hours designing and planning out the design and electronics of this panel to allow our great club growth and prosperity for many years to come!
Thanks to Bill Delong, we now have the wireless capability to use our SMART phones on the layout as an alternative to the DIGITRAX throttles. See Bill or Mark for a demostration. If you have an IPOD TOUCH or an IPOD phone or a phone with the ANDROID operating system, you can download a free app called WI-THROTTLE or search for train control..
