The other night I was able to add the Bullfrog Snot, I let dry overnight, put the H-9 on the test track the next day and notice a loss in speed. Lost around 12 scale mph. Somewhere in the 5 pages of this build I mentioned about adding pick ups to the locomotive. I've been putting it off, hoping it wasn't something that was necesssary, but I think it's something I have to try to regain the speed loss. So, I sat down at the workbench tonight and came up some ideals on how to move forward with that installation. The locomotive side looks pretty straight forward. The tender side could be a little tricky. Bowser trucks are all metal with the only isolation from a short is the insulators in the wheelsets. So the tricky part is how to mount pickups for both sides of the truck without causing a short. Tomorrow night I might get into this and see if my idea will work 
. Ugh!
. Ugh!
