Good evening friends
No one has checked in today. I hope that isn't bad news.
I have been putting some decoders in a few locomotives and managed to spend 4 hours getting a drop in to work properly. It was a locomotive purchase used for a good price. It had been "Fixed" The hardest thing to find was the washers that hold the contacts to the tender trucks were under the contacts and the hole in the contacts was around the screw head, not under it. Talk about intermittent contact. There were many other issues but it runs great now.
Rain here and muggy
Good day all
