Subject: Re: Raffle
We had another great raffle thanks to Lorraine and her great selling. I think we took in more on Sunday than on Sat with lots fewer people in attendance. $164.
We did have some issues with the layout though. The new siding track was great and Ricky's new module fit right in too I guess since it was in the layout on Sat after a late arrival. Now for the issues.
We used a temporary TPC to control track 4 since our is not functioning properly. Then the TPC on track 3 stopped working????? Fortunately, Steve figured it was the strength of the serial port and that with 5 TPC units on the circuit, one would not work. Sure enough, taking the old unit off the serial line and track 3 worked again. Here we go again finding a limitation on the electronic hardware. It does continuously amaze me that we are pushing the envelope of the electronics. Steve felt that Legacy may have a weaker serial signal than the TMCC, who knows but I hope we do not find out.
How did we eventually do with the raffle?
