Good evening folks
I actually worked in the train building. I did some work on the BP20 and have to let glue set overnight so I took a couple hours to install some Kaydees on 3 cars and used the truck tuner on them. I also worked on a lifelike e7 I got for a cheap price. It is dcc and sound and had something binding in the rear truck. I dis-assembled it and found nothing so a little LaBell on the gears and re-assembled and it runs but I will redo the decoder installation. The locomotive was DCC ready but the decoder that they installed wasn't so I will eliminate the Life like board and direct wire everything. It will be a lot neater that way.
It was cold but sunny today so I could enjoy my sunporch for a while.
Another 30 days and they start to gain daylight once again.
Cheers everyone
Charlie
