Re: NOVAHILL ...... U.S.A - upnick - 09-20-2009
Hi All,
With work and all not got a lot on the layout done but thought i'd post one of the latest locos i have converted to DCC for it using a TCS M1 decoder
Atlas Trainman SP GP38-2 #4800 weathered bring the total of Geeps on the layout to three now
the four axle locos handling the switching tracks better ....... i will try to post some pics of the CSX GP38 thats also new on the layout later. ![[Image: SP4800.jpg]](http://i549.photobucket.com/albums/ii377/upnick/SP4800.jpg)

:EDIT: As promised picture of Proto 2000 GP38-2 #2749 in CSX paint which came fitted with a Digitrax decoder she just needs a weathering up now to fit in

Hi All,
Well with this layout i am never going to be happy i have decided & started to disassemble it ......... running it doesnt give me any satisfaction at all ....... a switcher layout isnt for me in HO.
No sooner do the locos start than they stop a shame really but i have plans for the boards in N scale my first choice of railroading & have plenty of locos/ stock to run probably my initial intention for the layout space i have namely intermodal ... the board will need to be a little wider at either end for a turnaround double track.
Everything i have for the HO apart from the powercab will be sold off in the coming weeks, and i will post details of them if anyone is interested on any items.
I will be back & start a new thread soon with my new venture once the boards are cleared
