Model Railroad Hobbyist RailPro Contributor Needed
Lee Nicholas:
Bruce payed my layout a visit when he was in Utah last year. It was his first contact with RP and he was impressed to the point he penned an article for MRP last Oct I believe. I am willing to help where I can.
Tomorrow RMC is doing a photo session on my UCW in conjunction with next years NMRA National in Salt Lake. My layout story will include my conversion to RP and what a great system it is.

B.Lloyd:
I have and use NCE. I wanted something simpler to use on my small layout and was sold on Railpro. I went to buy system only to find out I can’t buy it in Canada. Is this the same in other Countries. One of the main complaints it is proprietary, but with the licensing not being of great concern a great number of modellers are being left out. Don’t want to be negative but do not like to be excluded either.
Alan:
It is a radio spectrum governmental certification issue. Small business growing pains, not deliberate exclusion. But exclusion nonetheless.
KPack:
Out of curiosity, is there anything saying that a person can't just go to the States, buy Railpro, and bring it back to Canada? I just wonder if the law is that strict that it can't be used at all up there without approval. I can understand not being able to sell it without approval, but does it also curtail use of it?
Alan:
If ICES works like the FCC in the US, an individual may import up to 3 non-FCC certified devices of the same model for their own personal use. Now how they go about enforcing that limit is beyond me. Doubtful they do.
