Excellent layout

Is this Dcc?

Interested to see it running on if so with the 2 trains at once stopping at station etc.

I like how basic it is. but well detail at the same time

I don't do DCC. Straight D is annoying enough.

agreed but i really want to give dcc a shot when i have a room large enough to accomodate something worth wiring up for dcc.

Hey Keitaro,

As you'll be soldering connectors every 1.0m or so, and isolating sections of track as short as 25cm in length, I highly recommend starting with a small layout.  At the moment I'm only doing my subway, which is around 30m of track.  Believe me, I'm over soldering!!!  But the big mistake I made was to use flex on the straights.  It is pointless when you need to cut short stopping sections to be isolated and wired.  In future all track will be Tomix or Peco units, even straights.  The only time I will be using flex will be for sweeping bends around hills, etc.

Cheers
