HO Module report Claude Lundquist

Mid-America show – We had some problems leveling the modules at Mid America, but in the end all worked out well. DCC was running on the “inside” loop. Hope to have DCC running on all tracks in the future. New DCC controllers should be ready for the Spring show.

There was some discussion about how best to de-conflict DCC addressing at shows. Open issue for now.

Bob Finkenbiner asked if the yard will be rebuilt. Claude replied that sections of the yard can be turned on/off using switches.

N Scale Module report is planning to be at the Spring show.
