D.        Open Issues

Investigation of the leading DCC systems continued.  Harvey, Ely and Scott made a field trip to The House of Trains to checkout the NCE system.  Out of the box they could not get an engine to respond and put it back in the box.  One more system, MRC, needs to be looked at a recommendation and vote should occur at the next meeting.

Dave Mrsny created a template for placing the Red, Yellow and Blue lines correctly at the end of module.  This will be a very helpful tool for new members.  Thanks, Dave!
