Train Day!
with Rob Fair (6-8p.m. 2 hrs.)

Starting the night figuring out what gauge wire to use for feeder to bus wires.

Now we need to test where the gaps in voltage are per track.

Testing each track for proper voltage reading.
Should be 14v.

We figured out why some tracks weren't working.
I had to rewire the white feeder wires because some of them weren't connected in the twist cap.

Rob is patiently testing each engine as it heads into each assigned track.

Mission accomplished.
All engine facilities tracks working and in order.
Great work tonight, Rob Fair!!!
