I spent yesterday finishing that bank of 10 manual switch throws for the Minnesota Commercial yard.
Red spaghetti.
When it comes to mudding and taping, I get pretty good results. I'm just really slow. A pro would have this done in an hour. I've been dragging it on for a couple weeks. My shoulder hurts.
I took the LC+ NW2 out for a spin and had it push the track cleaning car. I took it to tracks that no train has gone before. Big success! Though I did discover one trouble spot.
It did not want to go through this 3 way. It kept shorting out.
Best I can figure, these two rail segments are permanently tied to ground. The problem is when the rollers cross them there's a momentary dead short. What I need to do is find the connection and break it, then install micro switches connected to the throwing mechanism to route power. This sounds more difficult than it is.
