    Cheers Allan

    I have a similar board I am going to integrate with an arduino so that I can 'Trigger' sounds and actions at the same time. (I am told you can have mp3's play directly from an arduino, which also needs some research) The advantage of the one on my website TIP205 is that it is incredibly cheap and comes with a remote control!!!!

    'Geeps' are a nice locomotive made for light road switching. I have just purchased a GP10 in Illinois Central Gulf orange livery (Intermountain with ESU Loksound) to add to my fleet of North American locos which include GP9, GP40, RS3, RS4/5, Alco FA2, S4 Switcher and a 44 Tonne switcher. I'll be selling my Alco FA2 (Bachmann Sound Value) to help offset the cost of the new GP10 !

    Here is a nice video presentation of the GP7 and GP9 from Model Train Stuff...



    Cheers, Gary.

    Agree, I love my Geeps :redface:. I am trying to model the very late 1950's and Santa Fe.

    PS. In which forum would I post pictures of my local club layout. I have just spent the last two days turning a boring green hill into a snowy mountain :)

    I would recommend placing your pics in the General Chat section, within Off Topic. This way members can comment without interfering with this thread.

    Cheers, Gary.

    ps, Toto, we know you want to deep down... They are hard to resist ! :avatar::avatar:
