That and the help I got from people is one of the main driving reasons I have a web site, and there's 10 pages of Beginner's FAQs in a valiant effort to spare others the pain we all have gone through, albeit to varying extents
I'm constantly updating it, and trying to help others as I see them ping pong all over the place trying to make a decision. My role at work is a leader, but it's more like herding cats, so I'm still learning organization. When you stop learning, then it's trouble.

I typically used to ask Marc if an article would be printed based on the idea, or if it just wasn't something they would be interested in (e.g., the Low Rider train) before writing it. Several times Marc expressed interest, and I submitted and have several published articles. But the last time, he kept asking for more detail in the pictures and when provided, never ran the article even though he said all was good. That was for the diesel fueling facility with pump spouts made from drip system parts. After that (several years ago now), I stopped asking.

Did I miss a brochure describing all the features and benefits?

Looking for some help, I need a Lite weight ballast for our new club Modular layout, I don't want to go with real rock because of weight issues, but saw other layouts at the ECLSTS and wondered what they used any info would be of great help.
I've been a lurker but coming out of the shadows for this info.
Thanks
Frank

I just don't think Roosters should play with trains that belong to somebody else..

And I get what you say, there is another shortcoming in these connectors, if you are wanting to "tap into" a bus, you have to cut that wire, and no matter how good the connector is, you have cut and re-spliced your wires.
What I have done in my landscaping is leave the wire intact, and strip about 3" of insulation without cutting the wire. Now I fold that stripped part in the middle, and can now use that folded over part in a wire nut, along with the other wires to be "tapped in"... so my "bus" remains unbroken/uncut... it might be a fine point but I felt better when I needed to "tap in" near the beginning of a long run...
I have about 9 separate landscape lighting runs, some are pretty long

That worked. Thanks.

And if I'm not mistaken, the Cutthroat Trout is catch and release only, with barbless hooks, on the N. Fork. It might even be "Fly fishing only", because I have never seen any other fishermen (bait, lures, etc) on that river.
One time we were camped near Big Hank, and two fellas asked if they could walk thru our campsite. Carrying fly rods of course. One was a guide and the other was a client from the midwest somewhere. We chatted for a while and the client said, outside of BC and Alaska, this is his favorite stream.
The "new" regulations put in place last year designate the entire river system (and St Joe also) as catch and release for cutthroat. Below Yellow Dog Cr. you can use barbed hooks and bait if you choose to keep rainbows and whitefish but still must release the cuts. Above Yellow Dog it is catch and release for everything and you have to use barbless hooks and no bait. This is just a slight variation over the old regs which allowed catch and keep for cutthroat below Yellow Dog. I saw ... less

My first week was at the Kettle Valley Railway in Summerland, BC. The weather wasn't very nice, but I think I was still able to capture some of the beauty of their operation.

Too bad you only have the one passenger car...
I've had it for about 18 months, I think? Its my best runner, just doesn't do anything unexpected. I'd like to get a couple more for the fleet.

I note the new fence had not been erected. I also saw the mention of yokels: I didn't now they existed outside Britain. Must have gone over with the Redcoats.
