Train club report
Tyler and I were at the train club last night. I did some work on the last remaining switch at the sawmill complex, and then I went looking for the DCC cheat sheet. wich was right where it belonged, but was covered up by a newspaper.
The instructions for idiots had a hand written note on it wherin I had threatened to hand lay narrow gauge track on the uvula of anyone who moved that piece of paper.
I got the DCC fired up, but had continuing issues with my Y6B
at first it acted like it was acquired, I could run the sound functions but it would not go. I got a piece of flex track and used my wheel cleaning jumpercables to power it off of the Dc power for the narrow gauge.
It would run on DC , and then afterward it would run on DCC for a while and then quit. I could repeat the cycle and have the same results. Later, when it quit I found I fould deselect it and re aquire it and it will work for a little while, so perhaps It is some kind of wierd programing issue, and it needs to get programed for it's own number, and get off the #3. It was weird it was like it lost half of it's programming when it hit dirty track, I could ring the bell and blow the whistle but it would not go unless I deselected it and re acquired it. very strange.
The track at the club is filthy, I need to bring in the DG CC & w RR track cleaning train what # allows operation of DC locomotives? as the 3 truck Riverossi Heislers are the best option for the track cleaning train, and start to try to get the track clean.
