Clover Street Railroad (2008)

My second (and final) FasTrack layout features inner and outer loops, a (one way) reversing loop, plus a bump-n-go trolley line. All switches and accessories use track power and the engines are TMCC controlled. Because no one makes a TMCC trolley, I installed a rheostat in a Lionel bump-n-go trolley so that it moves slowly at full 18v track voltage. If I had to do over again, I would see if TMCC could be installed in a trolley using a board from The Electric RR Company.
