Holy price hike !!!!     Jward

This is how it starts.....   just a board in the basement , ct03 will have 34 loco's, 250 plus in rolling stock, and a 65' by 30' layout dcc set up, with turn table and a big ol river running thru the center in three years.  " Just simple and fun"  he he he I love this hobby. get started ct03 you want be sorry its great.

 I believe I have learned more about turn outs in this thread than I have in all the others combined. Thanks guys.

 "plain to the understanding" I can't get my head around that...........what does that mean ?

Great stuff guys. Lots of good info, I was asking because I did not know what happened when you got past the numbers of turnouts the DCC system could handle. I think I have a better idea on turnouts now. If I could just  get one of you to ballest my track, I would have it made.

Thank you Bach- man my present 4x8 section has 5. I plan on expanding in the future with a "yard" . I was asking for the future and also cost. Don't want to buy the wrong items. I have bought some old boxcars when I should have went with newer stuff to be cost effective.

What do you do if you have more than 10 DCC turnouts in a layout ? I am only using DCC turnouts on my layouts with my Bachmann ez command. After you get past ten do you need a second ez command are what ?  Spanky

Hello everyone new do this, have a million questions will start here. I am building a "u" shaped layout 4X8 with a  2X6 crossover then another 4X8. The first 4X8 is a town setting. I have the track lay ed out in this area. The 2X6 will lead over to a good size Yard with a continuous loop around.

  My question I have ez command Dcc I have bought all DCC turnouts 5 in the first 4X8 alone not sure how many will be in the rail yard 5 more 7 ??  but how do I control all these turnouts with one DCC unit...... two, Can you hook them up in parallel ?    thanking you in advance Spanky
