Scott's Layout



It seemed like I had a few issues while using the layout at my house during the meeting.  For those interested here is my explanation.
 
Apparent cross wire between tracks 2 and 3.  The track 3 ground wire from the ZW had come undone so when I also unplugged the power from track 2 that was on the same ZW, it turned off track 3.  Reconnect wire and all is fine.
 
Loss of power on track 2.  While I was out of the room the fuse did blow.  I am working on getting circuit breakers installed to avoid in future.
 
Burning in engine.  Still not sure this was the engine.  I think it was a switch top very near the center of the layout so the burning smell went everywhere.    I will switch all switch bulbs to 24 volt to hope it saves the tops.
 
After charging up the Proto one engines a little more, they both work fine now.  I also have a borrowed TPC on track one now so better working with MTH engines. 
 
Bring some stuff to run on the work day.  I hope to have the big yard powered up by then. 
 
Scott
