There's big news on the L&HR today. Following the feeder frenzy on Saturday, I spent some time yesterday and today wrapping the Maybrook feeders around the Maybrook bus wires. With anticipation and not a little anxiety, I then hooked the bus to the booster & fired up my Digitrax system. It worked! Maybrook is wired & operational on all tracks including yard leads and caboose tracks! I haven't powered turnout frogs or installed slide switches, so there are some dead frogs & flopping turnout points, but that was expected & should be corrected with the installation of slide switches. The only problem I ran into was the frog on one turnout in the east yard ladder shorting when set for the straight route. I think I can fix it pretty easily & if not I'll just replace it. NBD (no big deal) either way.
Well, I'm pretty excited to see Maybrook coming to life & am anxious to wrap the rest of the feeders & test more track!
Looking forward to running! Great news!
