Episode#1: Neil Erickson- Is dead rail the next big thing?‪"‬ Model Railroad Techniques Podcast

    • Visual Arts

Episode#1 Is dead rail the next big thing?" Is my first audio only Podcast.
This week I speak with Neil Erickson and we talk about dead rail being the next big thing? Dead Rail, up until this interview I knew nothing about this concept. Dead Rail has many benefits including limited to no rail cleaning. So what is Dead Rail?: in short the locomotive is battery powered and radio/wifi controlled using some other electrical components and utilizing your current DCC command stations and DCC decoders. Fasinating. . Neil also talks about his Oahu Railway Wahiawa Branch in On30 a great building coming along there.
 
Big shout out to Duncan McRee from Tam Valley Depot who allowed me to use his diagrams on how the Dead Rail system works. (this is not a sponsorship plug just some helpful information to set you off in the right direction with all things Dead Rail.
