Heritage Weekend
-
The team arrived around 7:30AM on Friday to commence setup. The
original plan called for us being closer to the trains
than was practical for setup purposes. We adjusted forward and still had plenty of room for aisle clearance in front.
- We ran DCS for a brief while on Friday but received a lot of Dirty track messages. This is likely due to the fact that the yard
uses toggle switches. In the future we might try on track 2 which has no toggles and also try some blocks and light bulbs.
-
TMCC Signal operation was flawless.
-
Power distribution worked well.
