Labor Day Holiday
Train Time this morning 1.5 hrs.
If you look closely you can see where I'm wiring the red (+) side of the wires.

Here I have connected all the black (-) ends of the wires.

And here's what it looks like when I turn the lights on.


Another view.

Train Day!
w/Rob Fair & Jordan Osborn
6-8pm 2 hrs.
Rob Fair preparing for the evening projects.

Tonight our goal is to wire up Chicago Downtown South street lamps.

Rob applies flux and then solder to connect the wires.

It's pretty tedious work.

Jordan Osborn stopped by to give a hand.

Wah Lah!
How's it look?

With flash...

Without flash.

I like the "without flash" better.

I wanted to take a picture of the final wiring of the street lamps by Rob Fair last night.

Train Day!
with Jordan Osborn and Cam Passaglia
4-5:30pm 1.5 hrs.
Rob Fair dropped off this Train Simulator game on Monday.

Acting goofy.

Getting down to business.

Jordan Osborn giving his expert opinion and knowledge of the game.
He took care of installing and getting it up and running.

As Cameron Passaglia looks on, Jordan tweeks the controls to get the train running on the Train Simulator game.

Here's a closeup of the what is on display on the monitor.

Back to Chicago Downtown South...I'm working on getting these signals to link up.

I had to replace the left hand traffic signals because the previous signals showed RED on the bottom, but should be RED on top.

I ordered a new circuit board which I think will accomplish what we want.
The other circuit board only controlled one way.

This should be a good place to mount the circuit board.
This should be very interesting.

The wires for the traffic lights from Chicago Downtown South will travel through this straw on their way to the circuit board underneath Chicago Downtown North.
