Promises that is. "Come fly, come fly away with me". (we'll see her back, looking a little dishevelled)
Something he no doubt is well practiced at
Toot this one isn't even a year old. This on is one of their DCC ready rtr units. Sadly the Chessie one I have is a really good runner. Has great low speed movement. I've made it my loadout switcher because of it. Now it is well over two years old.
These units do have a wire running to each of their axles. I have a feeling the wire for the rear axles is broken. I'll look into it to verify the cause. Now with my track....oh lord where to begin. I only have issues with certain units. My turnouts seem to be my problem children especially on my mains. Normally I good cleaning solves the issue and I press on. I havent done a good solid track cleaning on my layout. I use a track eraser for everything. Probably should use some alcohol and a towel and really do a cleaning for it. My GP40 got better performance for a couple laps and went back to strobing on the straights. I'm going to try cleaning the track really good first and work from there.
From L to R are lines #1,2,3,4. After the holidays line 3 will be moving under lines 1 and 2. There is enough room to take out the "wall" between 2 and 3, replace it with pillars and run 3 underneath 1 and 2 in a "half tunnel" kind of way. I like the look of three as it goes under the corner and will continue that look all the way along the back wall. I can enjoy the light effects some of the stuff has and not have to cut the lights to the entire room to see em. I'm not running anything oversize and no plans to upgrade to intermodals so it's all good to go through there.
Most of my towns have one, but I do have three other towns without one.
That's been my team since 1960. I don't watch as much lately, but they are really doing well without Tony Romo. Going to be a really tough coaching decision to make when he is able to return, although owner Jerry Jones may have already made the decision. His rookie replacement has won eight games in a row!
Maybe this week - - -
Good morning from southwest Missouri, all - low 40's last night, 60's and sunny today. Just leave the whole pot here, Ma'am - got a straw?? A little late this morning 'cause I had to read up on all the weekend entries.
Gee - I finally think I learn from all of you how to build benchwork, and then you go and start arguing among each other about how to build benchwork!?!?
Well, my plans for starting to build our new benchwork over the weekend went up in smoke - fun smoke, that is. I had bought some lumber at the DIY store on Friday along with some other stuff, and the weekend was looking like a nice time in the trainroom. But Saturday my wife wanted to do some Christmas shopping at the mall, and the kids and grandkids were going to meet her there, so-o-o-o- (hey, at least there's a Starbucks there). Then Sunday, we met our daughter, her husband, and our two-month-old granddaughter in Branson and went on to Silver Dollar City (tourist attraction). Had a great time, got home late, was worn out, watched part of the Seahawks-Patriots game - I really don't care about pro sports much anymore, so that shows how tired I was. Anyway, net result was no progress on the layout
Eric and Terry - Prayers for both of you. Hope you feel better today.
Willie - Good looking buildings. I'm still working on one of the Merchant's Row kits - way behind on it.
