OK...sorry for the lack of posts but here is an update. The signals...with the conductive paint and LOTS of patience, I got all but 3 of the signals working again. Saved me over $200! Now we can continue to install them. Mark Lestico got the panel updated to reflect signal indications and that's downloaded to the computer and tested....works great!
I've installed 2 more BDL's with 3 to go, 1 now and 2 later. One thing that makes this process last so long for me is that I am also, to an extent, re-wiring under the layout. I'm also cleaning up the wiring as I go. In the end, it all looks "pretty" for those of you that look under the layout!
I got several spurs installed but not yet glued down, replaced a siding in Goshen, replaced turnouts in Goshen from regular to Y's, removed a crossover in goshen and shortened the siding there too. We have temporarily installed the Kings River Bridge at Kingsburg. I need to re-install the turnouts there as we pulled them to install the bridge.
Next on the list...Oh geez, don't ask how long that list is! There's a lot to do as you can imagine when building a large layout.
I scheduled a test run session for June 4th but a couple days later had to cancel that as my DCS100 went on the blink. It should be arriving at Digitrax early June and I hear that I may see it before August! Well let's hope it's sooner than that! I rescheduled the test run for July 2nd. If you're interested in joining us, please let me know. If the DCS is still not back, I'll reschedule it again.
I'm sure I missed a few things that have recently been accomplished but as I recall them I'll post the info.
