Worked on Dwarf Signal Chicago Terminal Track 7
Also fixed Locomotive #151 to new DCC no. from 03 to 151.
I moved the dwarf signal back a bit. It was mounted on the inside of the curve so the coach car ran over the dwarf signal. It had to be moved. |
This is where the dwarf signal was before I moved it. |
The red light didn't work, but the green light shines bright. |

Yes, train activity today.
Check this out...
This is my "cheat sheet" which shows the Power Codes and the Train Codes. |
And this is my JMRI roster. I did figure out how to add locomotives even if they don't have a decoder inside. Cool! |
Here are the four locomotives I will be testing to be sure the decoders and other features are working properly. |
The four locomotives lined up for testing. |

if their Decoder Addresses are all active.

One more look at the JMRI roster screen. |
Now it's time to put the four locomotives back in their slots at the Chicago Terminal Engine Maintenance Shop. |

My main goal today was to finish the shell of the JMRI roster.
I finished the "shell". |
Here's my power/train code sheet. This sheet should match the JMRI roster when I finish adding the details. |
I may need to change the order of this sheet since the JMRI roster puts the ID codes in alphabetical order. I can do that. No problem.
Here's the final JMRI roster with all the fields completed. |
Next step?
Make sure the DCC decoders are set up correctly and the locomotives will run.
That will be for another day...
