15-10 1:46:18	stonysmith	I think the fool builder put in the water heater before they framed in the door
15-10 1:45:23	soccrdad30	what about the door frame issue?
15-10 1:45:13	stonysmith	Then figured out it would not fit thru the door
15-10 1:44:43	stonysmith	They got it all disconnected...
15-10 1:44:19	stonysmith	Second... More of an issue
15-10 1:44:13	ejshelton	Thats good
15-10 1:44:01	stonysmith	Plumber said first was not needed to replace
15-10 1:43:28	stonysmith	Ended up replacing neither
15-10 1:43:07	stonysmith	Started the day expecting to replace TWO water heaters
15-10 1:42:34	stonysmith	Small side story
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.
