Mark worked on installing MT's to locomotives. We're putting the short MT's on the rear and the longer MT's on the front for coupling to cars. This ensures that the locos are not pushing the cars off the track in the helix.
While they were hard at work I worked on the JMRI panels some more and speed matched some of the locmotives too. I use the Accutrack speedometer to speed match the locos which makes it a heck of a lot easier, eliminating the "eyeball" method of speedmatching. There is no way on this earth that all locos will run the same speed but the speedometer helps. I set them for a maximum of 40 mph.
One step further to ops next month!
