Hi Gang;
I'm currently a DC Cab Control guy who dabbled in DCC about 14 years ago and didn't like the whole CV thing. Tried Bill's RailPro for the first time a week or so ago (I'm the guy in the purple shirt in his Op Session video) and I'm seriously considering RailPro vs. DC Cab Control, especially as I'm at the point of starting wiring!

--- Quote from: Prostreetamx on November 29, 2015, 10:40:43 AM ---Hi, I am Richard from Las Vegas,NV. I am not retired but as an electrician I have been into trains since I was a teenager (53 now). I got into electronics and electricity due to my interest in trains first. This has even helped me in my current career as a trade show electrician since I can fix stuff and do hook-ups of customer equipment due to my background with electronics and LED installs related to my hobby. I started building my current 20x20 double deck modern HO BNSF layout a few years ago with the full intention of running Digitrax DCC. I bought all the books and only had a few DCC parts to start with. After doing a lot of research and watching some DCC YouTube videos, I decided that a 20+ year old tech that was very complicated to program just wasn't for me. I decided of RailPro about 3 years ago but waited until last year to start buying the equipment. I waited to see how it would work out with all the bad reviews from guys who didn't even have it. They were concerned about the touch screen, picture files and such. These were not an issue for me at all. I have 8 modules so far and one HC-2 controller with a goal of about 25 to 30 RailPro equipped engines. Been buying mostly new engines so far for conversion and haven't started on my older units yet. Using sound in every unit so far. Can't seem to find any Model RailRoaders in the Las Vegas area other than the G scale guys. Will need a few operators once the layout is finished. Have most of the track down.

Welcome. I'm a pilot for Spirit and routinely overnight in LAS. I would be more than happy to run some pumpkins if you need operators!

Not completely up and running yet but early next year will be much farther. Have only tested a few sections so far but mostly wired. I live about as far away from the airport as you can be and still technically be in the city but could always pick you up. I work pretty close to the airport at Mandelay Bay. Now that I have 8 engines running, it's time to finish the loose ends and run some trains. Need a second opinion on a few areas for operation before final track work.

Hi everyone
Name's Antoine, from Sherbrooke, Québec, Canada.
30 years old. I already own Railpro with HC-2 and 6 locomotives equipped with Lm-2S. I have a 12x12 layout in progress. I'm interested in joining this group to share experiences and hear about other's experiences.
Thank you for having me along.
Antoine

Howdy folks. My name is Rich, and I'm from central Indiana. I'm not retired, but now that the kids are all but grown, I have the time and a little disposable income to revisit model railroading, which fascinated me so when I was young. I may be a bit of an odd duck, as the history of the American railroad, while interesting in its own right, isn't a big draw for me. I imagine my layouts will be largely fictitious, with only a passing nod toward chronological accuracy. My interests lie in those machines of years past, themselves, and modeling the way of life of the people and activities of the crews involved in the industry.
I've never wired a train set beyond hooking up to the two screws on the feeder track section on the old Lionel figure eight set I received for Christmas as a kid, so I've got a lot to learn. I'm starting with an NTrak module, that I can run with a local NTrak club. I'm sure it will be a valuable learning experience for me. My first fixed layout will be a HO scale (space permitting) rail system traversing a number of different environments, incorporating tunnels, bridges, mountains, industries, bodies of water and whatever else I can squeeze into it. I plan to run both steam and diesel locos on it. RailPro will certainly be my control system of choice.
