Mr. DCC University Banner

Bruce built a demo layout for Litchfield Station.

The idea was to expand the small shelf layout we had when we opened the storefront business to a layout capable of demonstrating DCC to customers.

Here is the blog of that work

  • Just a quick update photo to let you know that we are still working on it! Not a lot new visible. Many unseen changes
  • The biggest change is the addition of two manufacturers' banners and the movement of TCS' banner. The far wall is waiting for the SoundTraxx banner we earned as a Gold Dealer!
  • This was the last photo taken before we sold Litchfield Station
  • The layout is still at Litchfield Station.
