Even though I haven't posted for a few days, we (Brian Post) are moving forward, primarily with the electronics. Pictured here are two Digitrax DS-64's. The problem is that as you can tell from the numbers, there are supposed to be three; one was defective and has been shipped back to the folks in Florida for replacement. The DS 64 is what is known as a "stationary decoder", and hooked together (layman's terms), they can be used to route trains through a series of turnouts. Their application on the Paducah & Lake Erie is routing engines from the main line into one of nine different engine bays of the Freytag Engine House. When third unit is installed, engines will, by the use of two or three buttons on the throttle, be routed from the main line to the desired engine house bay. The numbers seen correspond with the bays.
