Do you BREAK the car, or BRAKE the car. I know things are done differently in Texas, BUT!!!!

There are a few things that will come up that can be fustrating. Most of these are because there are several brands just like cars. How many times have you taken a rental car out at night and can't find certain controls. I once couldn't shift a little Ford until I figured out you had to have your foot on the break!--wow news to me--heck if I wanted to stop the car I'd use the break--I wanted to go ahead! With a couple of stubborn exceptions, I can replace a decoder in a few minutes (NASCAR style), switch power districts and trouble shoot trackage faster than switching blocks. What is a little scary is the installs of sound decoders, marker lights and all those little extras that make wiring and the storing of that wiring under the hood a real problem. Of course with the introduction of the SHS consolidation with a DCC thought process it is a non issue for the most part.
