I believe I read on the web site that it took six years to build the layout. As for DCC, the entire railroad is computer controlled. No one is there to operate the trains. They have a tech on duty to keep things running smoothly, but otherwise everything is automated.
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
