| 15-10 1:39:35 | soccrdad30 | words of wisdom |
| 15-10 1:39:26 | rvn2001 | That works....if you can get the thread through. |
| 15-10 1:39:10 | ejshelton | Sounds like a good idea |
| 15-10 1:38:44 | stonysmith | Someone suggested running a thread thru the springs first to keep them from flying into oblivion |
| 15-10 1:37:23 | GNFan | Hi, Stony |
| 15-10 1:37:01 | rvn2001 | Hi Stony. |
| 15-10 1:36:53 | ejshelton | Hi Stony |
| 15-10 1:36:45 | soccrdad30 | hello Stony |
| 15-10 1:36:42 | stonysmith | Late to the party... |
| 15-10 1:36:37 | soccrdad30 | okay, will do. I may try that |
| 15-10 1:35:52 | rvn2001 | You would need to loosen the screws at the front and rear slightly to get the trucks out. I would also pay attention to which truck is in the front and which truck is in the rear. I'm not sure if that makes any difference or not. |
| 15-10 1:34:08 | soccrdad30 | that would be easier? |
| 15-10 1:32:12 | rvn2001 | You could also test it with the trucks removed and the pcb still in place. |
| 15-10 1:30:26 | soccrdad30 | okay, good to know |
| 15-10 1:30:06 | rvn2001 | pcb to the motor tabs. |
| 15-10 1:28:31 | rvn2001 | One on each side to make contact between the chassis and pcb. |
| 15-10 1:27:56 | soccrdad30 | two springs to watch for? |
| 15-10 1:26:03 | rvn2001 | I would remove the pcb (watch the springs) and connect power directly to the motor to see if it turns at all. |
| 15-10 1:25:52 | soccrdad30 |
 it is... |
| 15-10 1:24:54 | GNFan | It will be, John. Plus, I'm taking the Coast Starlight to and from the show town. Ride trains, play with trains - the best. |
| 15-10 1:23:46 | soccrdad30 | Thom, if I have a MTL power chassis for a GP35 that lights but does nothing else, what should I do to further investigate the problem? |
| 15-10 1:22:40 | GNFan | I;ve surprised myself on other occasions, so I did a pre-show check beforehand. |
| 15-10 1:21:14 | soccrdad30 | sounds like fun Mike |
| 15-10 1:20:56 | rvn2001 | Good thinking ahead, Mike. |
| 15-10 1:18:32 | GNFan | We have two train shows around here this weekend, so I just finished testing locomotives to make sure there are no disappointments at the show I'll be attending. I set two miscreat loks aside for further attention. |
| 15-10 1:17:36 | soccrdad30 | we are in the mid 50's |
| 15-10 1:17:20 | soccrdad30 | K4 does include diagrams for their decals, but I am also using a Soo Line RR color guide |
| 15-10 1:17:14 | rvn2001 | Thanks, Mike. Rain and 70s here a good portion of the day. Dark now and 68. The usual 4 trains running. |
| 15-10 1:15:19 | soccrdad30 | not really, just location on the side of the car and any panel lines |
| 15-10 1:15:10 | GNFan | Thom, 66 and sunnny after a morning of overcast. The GN Regional is circling the layout. |
| 15-10 1:14:38 | rvn2001 | Yup |
| 15-10 1:14:23 | soccrdad30 | you mean setting them in place? |
| 15-10 1:14:02 | rvn2001 | Are you using anything to help you keep them straight? |
| 15-10 1:12:22 | soccrdad30 | that is the part I am working on now |
| 15-10 1:11:53 | soccrdad30 | triple number sets |
| 15-10 1:11:50 | rvn2001 | Those are hard to get lined up correctly. |
| 15-10 1:11:17 | soccrdad30 | yeah, a few sets |
| 15-10 1:10:40 | rvn2001 | I meant single didigt decals to make the nimbers. |
| 15-10 1:10:24 | GNFan | Hi, John. |
| 15-10 1:10:15 | GNFan | Hi, Ellen. |
| 15-10 1:10:11 | soccrdad30 | Hello Mike |
| 15-10 1:10:03 | GNFan | Hi, Thom. |
| 15-10 1:10:02 | ejshelton | Hi Mike |
| 15-10 1:10:02 | soccrdad30 | no, those cars are in the 11000 to 11052 range |
| 15-10 1:09:43 | rvn2001 | Hi Mike. |
| 15-10 1:09:34 | rvn2001 | Single digit numbers? |
| 15-10 1:08:59 | soccrdad30 | the difficult part is making the same RR #'s |
| 15-10 1:08:32 | rvn2001 | Did you have a good crop of potatoes? |
| 15-10 1:08:19 | soccrdad30 | I had four undec Pennzee steel reefer cars and I am used several K4Decal sets to make them |
| 15-10 1:07:13 | soccrdad30 | I am working on four of these cars «link» |
