When down into the basement yesterday to try out a Digitrax throttle that was just returned from Digitrax after a repair job. The air in the basement and train room felt a little moist. I set up a train to run and it barely made it half way around when it derailed. A piece of ground foam was over hanging over the track and caused the derailment. Of course, the problem are was just out of reach, so I used a length of balsam wood to push the foam out of the way.
The foam felt a little soft. I used WS Scenic Cement to attach my scenery materials and I think the higher humidity in the air could of caused the ground foam to loosen.
I turned on the basement "sized" dehumidifier and the meter read 60% humidity, higher than the normal 45-50% range that is normal for the basement.
We have had some much above normal temperatures here and I guess I should have turned on the dehumidifier sooner. It's still to soon to turn on the Central Air which also helps keep the air drier.
Just wanted to let all Basement Dwellers to take the time to check their layout areas in the basement and run their dehumidifiers if necessary.
