In the old daze, our group used the standards set by NASG & DeWitt and
Co. However being somewhat isolated down here we never had any one or
two day stands with any other clubs! After looking at the skematics of
those mega setups at Pittsburgh and elsewhere--I can certainly say thank
you Dr. Lenz for making the DCC an open platform! Those old drawings
show lots of cabs that could easily result in nasty electrical issues.
I don't think anybody has enough string to tow all those trains when
electrons don't move in the right directions--just ask the people in New
Orleans!
A mystery will take a few minutes to solve, but a stack of them will
bring down a display for a long time.

David,
The S-Mod wiring system was designed in the mid 80s well before
anything digital or command existed. It is rather flexible to have
modules placed in any order. The "restrictions" are rather minimal
unlike N Trak with mandatory track placement standards.
Of course the "Two Dons" are free to comment here!
Thank You,
Bill Lane
