Power Controls for Model Train Layouts

"On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Bob Lanning I'm here to tell you about making a train diorama in HO scale. Back here in this narrow aisle is where the public aren't allowed is where the, where we run the train from. We have various switches along here that we can turn off any of the tracks and we have two main power packs which are Model Rectifier brand, very reliable and one for each of the main lines. They're not operated with sensors like some of the other ones, they just run around to the speed we set. That's the Verde Canyon train and the old freight line that we represent. And then here we have the controllers for the sound and the freight locomotives, their called Quantum Engineers made by Broadway Unlimited Company. We have some smaller transformers that are buried out of the way that run the little, power to the trains that go to the smelters, and they're the ones that run back and forth on the optical sensors. We could run the whole railroad, behind me is, kind of a holding track, we could run that track, but normally we run the shorter route when we have visitors. But, if we want to play around ourselves we have a whole big railroad yard back here to hold all our member's railroad running stock, rolling stock. This is not a pretty area, it's where all our workbench and tools and anything we need, all our materials are back here."
