Layout PM:
Had to reverse two passenger train sets via the mainline.
Videos:
N&W A 2-6-6-4 passenger train.
Started with the N&W J 4-8-4 but the 'traction tire' came off so the A was 'substituted'.

GN R-2 2-8-8-2.
At the last 'session' this engine started to 'stop' several times.
Initially, that's a sign that the decoder may be 'overloading' but found that the tender is loosing conductivity.
Soldered a wire from the superstructure to the frame but nada.
Cleaned up the surfaces between the frame and trucks has removed most of the problem.
May need to add some 'lead' to the tender.
N&W J 4-8-4's 'traction' tire came off the driver plus added some 'canopy' glue to the insulated side drivers.
I fixed this turnout 2 'sessions' ago but I had to re-solder the linkage. This 'time' I used 'water pipe' solder instead of 'electrical' solder and a larger 'glob' adhered to the linkage.
N&W A 2-6-6-4 west of Waverly.
This 'flat' fell down and blocked the train from moving which I thought, initially, that the 'drive mechanism' on the engine was loose.
The B&O diesel derailed under the steps....
This screw was between the rails and the BLI diesels have a low 'clearance' where the 'gears' are located.
B&O train at Chumstick canyon trestle.
With the latest 'updates' the dispatcher's panel seems to be more reliable and not needing to be 're-booted'.
Two passenger trains needed 'reversing'.
