Re: Wire harness help
You are so right about the wire. We can get that here for cheap. We just don't have a good source for the parts and could use some group purchase to reduce cost and make sure we get the right things.

Re: Wire harness help
Hi, Jeff, if you can make 10 within 2 weeks, the Tri-State Z Scalers will buy them <seriously>. We need them for our Dec. meet and for a major train show in Jan. If not, I plan to order parts tomorrow

Re: Track feeders, how many and how often
Thanks for the added detail, Bill. It's been awhile since I laid any track and am getting forgetful, your caveat is a reminder of other caveats. Soldering the joiners is also a must for kink avoidance

Re: how tight is the track spacing and other musings
Hi Stu, It was a pleasure talking with you in Philly. You seem very enthused for NTS 2007. Glad you found your way to the list here. The Z-Bend Track standard calls for 1" centerline to centerline

Hopefully all got back from the NTS without any problems. One of the things I forgot to ask the module owners was: How tight is the track spacing from the centerline of the module. How much error can
