It's been a month+ since I last posted an update on my CSS. As with everybody, Christmas and life sometimes gets in the way.
I had a problem with my ERR mods for my CSS engine/tender. At some point during my modifications, I had lost some wires due to cold solder joints. I sent my R4LC to ERR because I suspected it as failing 'cause the smoke unit wouldn't produce any smoke. ( Ken is awesome with customer service.) The fan worked fine, just no smoke. I double checked all my connections and everything now works as it should. The other thing I had to do, was completely erase the programing in the CAB-1 and reprogram it. I had at some point lost the link between the engine and Aux tender. But that is all now been rectified.
The other thing I had to do was, lengthen the draw bar on the engine by 1/2". As it was the plug for the tether was hitting the corner of the engine as it would go around the curve. I'll get a picture of that up shortly.
I did find time yesterday to paint the engines tender. The sides of the tender went from engine black to B & O Blue. Now it matches the aux tender as it should. I found more pictures (albeit) very few of the engine tender. If I can make it work, the rear of the tender will see some improvements.
