thankyou, i may not have been clear. But the info about mth, peerless, etc is valuable. what i forgot to say is that the trolley track will be elevated and independent of the train tracks so Dc for the trolley is viable while dcc for the train is the best choice. i have seen some electronic products for trolleys that do what i "will" want but correlation of that with an ho trolley/cable car product in a 15" radius environment is almost impossible for a newbee like me.

i will have an elevated trolley on my 4x7 board. 1. I am building a board and will have a DCC setup when done as i do not want to retrofit DC to DCC in a future expansion to a larger board. I am rewiring before doing anything else with the board. i want the trolley to stop at stations (momentarily) and traverse at each end. what is the best set up for an elevated track arrangement? 2. what is the difference between a cable car and a trolley (IE motor power up hills?)?

i am new to ho and realize this is a sophisticated product when compared to o/o27.
