Be sure that you are modeling what you really want to model.
Pay attention to what you like and what gets you excited. I
choose what I like, and I haven’t been bored with the layout. I
believe that the same will be true for everyone.
I also like to keep the layout simple. I finally converted to DCC
and onboard sound. When I was using my DC system, I used an
old PBL sound system and ran the sound through eight speakers
located under my layout. I like the effect from the larger speak-
ers. There is a lot more range and richness of sound that come
from the larger speakers compared to the small speaker in a
locomotive. I simply felt that DCC is the present and future of

Feeds group. During harvest season elevator sidings
are full of hoppers waiting to be loaded with either
soybeans or corn.
