Afternoon All,
New Years Day started with the coffee pot not working . Luckily we had a travel pot that we used. Today was not a good day in the train room. I started out attaching the 9 sets of feeders to the main buss. When I tested them the entire layout had no power (yes it was on). After looking at a bunch of stuff I decided to cut the feeders. After that everything else worked but I couldn't get the yard approach and ladder to work. I finally wondered if the turnout going to the yard on the main was the issue. It was. I have one PECO Electrofrog and I inadvertently put it there. So I figured that no problem I'll pull it out and replace it with the last Insulfrog. Of course the Insulfrog was cut down when it was previously removed so now I had to fix the converging and straight through track. It took 2.5 hours to get back to where I was when I started this morning. Before finishing for the day I did one set of feeders and everything metered properly. Sometimes you're the bug on the windshield.
Dave- Nice job on the modeling.
Terry- Nice layout shot. Very cool video.
TomO- That's going to be a really nice facility.
IB Ken- That sounds like a big job.
Willie- Good looking scenes. Sorry to hear about the stones.
Guy- Nice BC Rail photo.
Sherrel- Very nice paint jobs.
I hope everyone has a good night.
