I'm running a Lenz Set100 and would like to add a second controller for
no.1 son. I'm looking for something reasonably child-friendly, so :

Apropos the recent question here about what color to use to represent
the wood decks of flatcars, it seems worth mentioning something that I
think is a good general principle of color selection for things model

I am looking for a Basic Oxygen Furnace kit or plans in any scale.  So
