Elliot, The 1976 Empire Builder looks great running on your layout!!!
I have had to start replacing 15 Amp breakers in out 51-year old house. The seem to weaken with age, and trip when there isn't anywhere near 15 amps. I have never heard of this happening before; strictly my own observation.
Yesterday I tried to slide out a sheet of 1/2" plywood I leaned against the wall early last fall, with the intent of cutting it into a couple pieces and put on top of my Mianne benchwork. Alas, I discovered I am not nearly ready to move it as I am recovering from a bulging L5-S1 disc and sciatic nerve damage. I need to do more PT and strengthening exercises. So, I pondered the problem, and decided I would go to Lowe's and Home Depot Monday and see about buying some cut pieces. 4x4 or maybe better yet 2x4.
Wow, so glad you mentioned about the weakened breakers. I'm not an electrician, have had to replace breakers in my 48 years old box. You have explained the reason Mark. I won't hesitate to put in New breakers from now forward.
If I were closer we would find a way to cut your board. I'm nursing hand and arm from October surgery. Exterior has healed but not the muscles that were severed. Dr. Informed will take until May. I cannot lift boards in place after I have them cut for my !ayout. I call my neighbor and friends....
