As I've been installing the physical signals onto the layout I also have to program them into JMRI to check the wiring install & the subsequent SE8C.

In the Digitrax manual they have a table that lists the ranges of switches for the driver aspects of each SE8C for board number one.

..........I have always wanted to be able to show people how much better a given locomotive runs with DCC vs DC.  I had just the chance lately when I re-motored and tuned up an old New Jersey Custom Brass O scale Alco S-1 for a friend.

I am working on a design for a small scene for demonstrating scenery and track work for out model railroad. It will be small (roughly 1ft. x 1ft. with the front curving) I am looking for design ideas and what an interesting scene would be. Any ideas from those on here?

Thanks for all of your suggestions everyone. Thurmand seemed like a good location and the below area is what we will model. It will include a cantilever signal seen on the right and the three buildings as low relief background structures. 

Over the last couple of weeks, I have been working on finishing the installation of the two remaining sidings (Paradigm siding & Morris Stock Feed Yard) and placing/annotating the track feeders for the Paradigm section. The bus wire for this power district (Main Level PD #2) was made, marked with two yellow strips of tape every 5 feet (give or take), and run through the pre-drilled holes along the back wall from the east helix to the power cabinet under the window.
