Getting ready

[Scott A Smiley <sc.smiley@juno.com>]

I hope everyone has been having fun and working with their trains.

I have been busy:
Replaced the track on the Coke Module and added rug ballast
Replaced track 4 on my transition module.  Seems it had 15 ohms
resistance when the rest have less than 1.
Removed the operating track on my switch module.  It ate about 50 ohms,
now less than 1.
Soldered track joints where needed, reduced about 7 ohms on track 3 with
switch.

I also have the cradle finished for the corners.  You guys can put it in
at  the fun run.  It will just sit on the floor.

Hopefully this addresses some of the power losses we have seen.  However,
this is probably only one side of the problem.  I suspect the other is in
the corner.  The ohm meter should help us find it by checking the
resistance from one end of the module to the other.  Fixing one side may
be enough too.
