Re: [Z-Bend] Module scenery power
Jeff,
Thanks for the input. I don't know if I'd ever show my modules, but I don't want to do anything to prevent me. Likewise, I do want to do anything that precludes running either DC or DCC.

Re: Z-Bend Modules at 2012 NTS?
I was being sarcastic.
My point was that there are many more reasons than "not wanting to promote Z anymore" that prevent one from exhibiting at a show. Which it -sounded- like you were implying.
