[Accrs-ho] March Good Guys

Dean;
I feel the same. The best way to look at this issue is  to
realize that we are entertaining the public and can  only
create interest by displaying our up-todate  technology

Group, 

I cut out early on the  February meeting and didn't get in on the 
discussion.   I have been  in the hobby for a long time and also gathered a sizable 
stable of analog  locomotives.   Some I have put in lots of hours on them 
running on  the layout and others that are just collecting dust as they have 
never been  run.

I feel that the future will be with DCC (I voted against it  way back when) 
and have been actively converting those locos, that I feel I am  most apt 
to want to run, to DCC.   I have some in my locker that are  still analog for 
use when DCC is not the choice for the day I am running on  the layout.

Other than the expense of the decoder (which can be a  problem to those 
with limited funds) the installation isn't too  difficult.  Some are just 
direct "plug and play".  Others are not  much more complicated than putting 
together one of the more modern  kits.   Why don't we do a clinic on installing 
decoders.    Also, maybe if we got together, as a club, we might be able to 
purchase a  bunch at a discount.

Operation is certainly easier and better with DCC  and I know that some 
that like to run analog have difficulties with the  switches and buttons on the 
control panel and depend on those that know how to  run it.   With DCC, 
most of these problems  disappear.

I actually raised the question at the Feb meeting about whether or not  to 
run all DCC. There was a little bit of discussion and we did make the  
decision to run both days as DCC. I also have a lot of analog, but also  agree 
that the shows tend to run smoother with more trains on DCC. I believe  we 
could loan some of the club DCC engines to people who only have analog  for the 
shows. 

Ed, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hello Members, 

I join Lee with his argument over how operations are  being decided 

Our club has vast numbers of members who still op to  run trains on Analog 
and I am one of them 

I choose to participate in these matters to voice my  position just as Lee 
and Andy 

This is on my mind to get my interest  in with our club 

Thank You

Ed:

Not all of us decided to do DCC for the good  guys show, and I don't 
remember any vote taken on it.

I know I got shouted down by a certain member, when I asked to  do DC on 
Sunday.

Hence, I won't be  participating in the Good Guys show, or any other shows, 
with the  exception of the Fair, and the Train Show, if there is one on 
site.

All,

At last month’s meeting we decided to do  DCC for both days. If anyone has 
any questions about that and/or is  willing or prefers to do DC for one of 
the days, please let me know. The  schedule will be posted at the club and on 
the web.

Thank you
