RailPro Realistic Movement

[Alan]

If anyone doubts the realistic control afforded by RP then watch the train movement at the beginning and end of the video. A smooth Atlas powertrain and RailPro - a wonderful thing! BTW Don't need no steenkin' keep alive. Good trackwork, powered frogs, and tight-n-right layout wiring does the trick. Watch the headlight.

I saw this video already on another venue, Congrats on the first full run of the deck!

This reminds me, I really need to isolate my frogs.

Nice. Love the epic soundtrack, love the long hood running and love the electrical control panel. Alan I hope you'll write on your blog more in depth about the panel and turning on and off the layout power with a couple of push buttons.

oh and yes, you get a hallelujah

I was lookingg forward to see some trains on your layout (probably not as much as you) I keep reading your blog. Keep up, this looks awesome.

Very nice Alan. Unfortunately, most of us don't have your wiring skills and would like to have keep-alive circuits.

I think it is more a testament to wired frogs than to my wiring skills.

Ironically enough, I fully plan on installing keep alives when Ring makes them a simple part of a module install. Why would anyone not? They make the system that much more reliable. I just don't want to be totally dependent upon them.
