Reply to "What did you do on your layout today?"

Big day on the BRM RR.  My objective was to fix a O22 switch which would operate in one direction only.   I quickly isolated the problem to the controller.  Initial inspection showed a bad contact finger.  It was cracked at the base.  A hot soldering iron fixed that.  The switch is happy again.  While running my #1055 for testing, I discovered three of my switches would not do the non-derail thing.  Any ideas before I pull them out?  The fiber pins are in the right locations    My railroad must work correctly by Friday morning when my Father arrives to play trains.  I had the 4501 pull four Baby Madison cars.  I kept hearing a squeak when the second and third cars came by.  I oiled everybody and the squeak went away.  I'll see what Mr Greenberg says about the derail function tomorrow.

Say good night Garcie.
