Mike G, excellent lighting and interior scenes. I've come to appreciate how difficult it is to get that right shade of light on a building interior from working on my current project.
Bob, way to go on that fix. As you pointed out, proceed with caution on extending that any further as you risk an electronics fatal short if the pickup roller touches both tracks. Keep in mind that different speeds may slightly alter roller alignment as well as the unique characteristics of different engines. Everything may seem fine when pushed by hand but it may be another ballgame at 15 SMPH.
@Rich Wiemann posted:Bob I would feel confident and say SUCCESS for your proof test. Your fix looks very neat and looks to have solved your issue. Good luck with the install and final test.
Thanks gents.
Agreed on both points. I will probably install as-is and adjust from there. The spurs will be powered by separate feeds which should help with power losses in and out of the sidings. Also not being able to run all the way through the last switch caused some short stops.
There is quite a bit of wiggle room as the engines roll through the points and frogs, so what works one way may not in the other.
Bob
