Out shopping most of the day yesterday with the bride looking for new sofas for our family room. Slight progress was made but no money changed hands yet.
When we got home I did a little tinkering before dinner. I have 5 K-line switchers, 2 S-2's, and 3 MP-15's. Anyone who has K-line diesels know how they take off like a rocket when you put power to the tracks. I've been trying to decide between wiring the motors in series and adding diodes to slow them down. Well I went with the series wiring, did the S-2's last night. It did help quite a bit. I can actually spot cars with them now without crashing through the bumpers at the end of my spurs. 
Note to self- be careful with plastic bags around hot soldering irons..
Oh- ran trains and enjoyed a couple of glasses of Scotch too 
I'll do the MP-15's today, hopefully with similar results.
Taking the Christmas tree down today so it's time for the final run for the Polar Express until next year.
