Good morning ..
Ken D&J .... Your layout photos are very impressive. ...
Willie ....... Nice looking grain elevator and farm supply building. .. I like the flat car loads, too.
Everybody.... Thanks for commenting on the Erie Builts... Actually, they do have a problem with losing power. I just cleaned the wheels very well so that's not it. I believe the leads to the trucks have poor connections. They have the cheap Chinese connectors. I'll try to explain what I mean. There are small metal tabs with a hole to insert a wire. A small plastic clip slips over the tab to secure the wire. Nothing is soldered at the factory. Of course, disassembling trucks is like solving a complex Chinese puzzle, and I hope I need not take them apart. ... (I don't know when I will get around to it. Nice wether is here. We were on the boat yesterday, and bet we go out on it today too.)
