Re: problems with the transition modules

There is a simple solution that will provide a temporary solution for
when one of this type engine is running that is very low tech but
effective.  Since the pick up is hitting a powered guard rail in the
switch and the engine may not need this power to proceed throught the
switch, we could put a piece of masking tape over  a short part to see if
that solves the problem.  If so it could remain if other engines do not
need it or be removed.
