First, the control dial on my MRC Tech 6 6.0 controller causes the track speed to jump around to various values. I can get one speed step increases by pressing the program button and decreases by pressing the input button, but it is very inconvenient to do so. May have to send it in for maintenance, which would leave me without control capability for my DCC locomotives. (I still have a separate DC power pack for most of my other locomotives.
An electronic grade crossing setup, run by infrared detectors, completely separate from the track power, has suddenly started turning on when a train interrupts the IR beam from one set of trackside sensors, but refuses to turn off when the train breaks one of the other sensor beams, the way it should. Have to try to troubleshoot that setup.
Bachman Climax had the middle truck seize up after just sitting on a siding without running for several weeks! Sent it in to Bachman a couple of weeks ago. Haven't heard anything from them!
Oh, well...
Happy Holidays to All!
