Trainlover160 posted:Have you, considered putting in a timer? What I used to do for a hotel, is I had a total of 4 trains and they were all on timers. I made it so one set ran for 30 minutes and shut off, and another set would come on, until all of them had been run, and the sequence would then start over. I would keep the engines from getting hot and allowed more time for lubrication.

There's not much of a reason to as it's only operated for about a half hour to an hour at a time anyway during specific parts of the show. So far it's worked out OK (fingers crossed) in the past 6 years. The light guys bring up the power at the same time as them bringing up the lights in the auditorium for intermission and things like that.
