But wait, there's more.
The transformer area has been repainted
At the Great Big Greenhouse last January (seems like a decade ago), the kids had a blast playing with a helicopter car on one of Peter's modules. So, an operating track section has been added. This track section was donated by the same gentleman that gave us this KW transformer.
Member Bob B gave us a great deal on the MTH helicopter car. It works great!!! Just need to keep the KW at 13 volts, or less to keep it from bouncing off of the ceiling...
The small power cart had an issue. We couldn't close the lid without unplugging the USB cable between the TIU and the WIU. It is used primarily for our 12x15 layout. The 6x11 layout is now wired so we can use the cart on this layout as well.
Rotating the TIU 90 degrees took care of that..
After EVERYTHING we had done, while running trains we saw trains slowing down in the curve again. Aaaarggg! Well, one very well placed jumper fixed that problem once and for all
