A. Morning Musings

My list of Learning activities is growing beyond what is reasonable. I have dropped Drawing from the list for the moment. I am also dropping the Technology activity of examining some mass collaborative sites. That brings the total number of entries for today to 5. Two of these involve activity (Model Trains and Science), the other three are reading.

Much of the morning will be spent at the dentist.

B. Actual Learning Activities

4:30 PM

I have been doing some reading about turnout control with DCC, both on the Web as well as with my own DCC manuals. It is slow going as some of the terms are still new to me. I am leaning toward a Digitrax DS64 module at the moment - it will control 4 turnouts. I have 12 turnouts on my mainline, but I think I will start with 1 module and see how it goes.
