RhB (where I'm from but not at), battery power/radio control (BP/RC) how I operate Ge 6/6 aka crocodile, Ge 2/4, the shortie formerly serving the Engadine, and the Bernina Motor Coach. The green LGB2070 steam loco was the first to get BP/RC.
I had this motive power furnished with
TE Revolution modules with sound. It's a diy job for those who don't fear electronics and soldering, so not for me... I'm happy with this TE Revo equipment tho' DCC mayoffer more wrt sound.
There's a simple 'winter layout' (dbl track oval, turn loop on inner oval and electrically no problem thanks to BP/RC) in the downstairs, roughly 12ft square.

At this time I'm working on the outdoor layout which is to be largely under cover along house wall and beneath a terrace. Recently I tried some 'instant landscaping' with burlap (hunter's camouflage). Feel free to find it ugly

, I at times do, but it's better than seeing into the support structure. (Part of the roof comes down in winter, we live in the snowy Kootenay's of BC/Canada.) I'm debating options for rocky cliffs, ...just painting it on? Or perhaps as on an earlier occasion doing molds taken from real rock (does look very well as I remember it).

Green & blue ovals/figure 8 under the deck where it all began and above the large radius loop below.
Eventually the rising track was established at 26‰.
