...Lol! yes, u got there just before another problem with DCC
happened. The shunter was driving a small cargo train and rear ended a
stationary train rite on a curve. The shunter and a number of cars
took a tumble and the shunter ended up in a small pile of barely
recognizable pieces :-)
...DCC is great, but u've got to remember to check the track for other
trains that you didn't get started!!!
...you can go back to ignoring me now...
