Hi JRad,
Thank you for the reply and success you have had with RP. Based on everything I have read so far. The decision to go with RP would be very justified. I really like the technology they are using. Especially considering the fact I will need to convert all my locos over anyway. It appears converting them to DCC in my case does not make much sense.
Battery power is a real option for me. Have a fair bit of Code 332 brass track that I have collected over the years. Can use it all without much worry of trying to power it going battery.
Despite the fact that I have been studying this hobby awhile. I am still a newb but eager to learn.

Hi my name's David from San Diego Ca. I'm into G scale garden modelling. I am in the process of acquiring land rites and laying track in approved areas. I have been trolling thru this site and have decided I'd like to install this system. I am not that knowledgeable on electrical, but can follow directions. I found a very useful 5 part video from the fishguy on youtube that seems like it could keep me out of some trouble.
I have been looking to see if there was a vid or instructions on how to install railpro into an older Aristocraft F-1 A/B unit. To date I have not found any. Has anyone done that type of install? I believe I may have to brush up on my soldering.
Also, do i need 2 modules for this hookup? It will be fully battery control. Getting to old to be going around cleaning track.
Any help is appreciated.

Hello David, and Welcome!
I'm not into G-Scale, but I can't imagine the wiring is that much more difficult than any other scale (actually, maybe easier since the wires are bigger and there's more room? ;D ).
As for the A/B unit, if you'll have two engines, you'll want a module for each.
Feel free to post any questions you have. This is a great group of people who will be willing to help you out!

Howdy. At a train show/swap meet we attended about three years ago in San Diego, there were a few G gaugers I chatted with them, they lived in SD area.. Have you gone to the join clubs at Balboa Park for there are many model railroaders hanging out downstairs in one of the big buildings.. Surely you should find help there. Have you been to Reeds Hobby as they might be of help? Cheers TOF Yuma Arid-Zona
