I think this is a great layout. I am a novice just beginning and only hope my turns out at least half as nice as yours.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!

Can you please advise me on the DCC. I purchased one and was under the impression it would operate sounds. While my directions say it will, it gives no directions on how. The system I purchased is ht E-Z Command.
Also it came with a diesel locomotive which I assumed would have sounds and flywheels. Is this correct?

Thanks, for your help.
