Good afternoon 'Engineer & Switchmen',
Hi Flo & Francine, Jeffreys' Dinner is fairly packed today, no wonder with the heat here in Central Calif.
WW says it's - Clear & 105.3 °F - Feels Like 106 °F;
Winds are Variable at 2.7 mph;
Today's extended forecast is with held so as to not scare anyone!
Pressure 29.84 in
Visibility 10.0 miles
Clouds Clear
Heat Index 106 °F
Dew Point 59 °F
Humidity 22%
Rainfall 0.00 in
Snow Depth Not available. > 58 inches and falling, I feel much cooler now! LoL
Joe: I would imagine everything will go well with the procedure as long as you've had no pulling associated with waste elimination.
Your smart not to cut your grass too short when it's hot. I leave mine about 2.5 to 3" in length with this Central Cal. heat. In fact I just came back in a little while ago from watering most of the patchy front lawn to keep it from drying out too much.
Ken: Correcting things like that can be a real challenge, sorry to hear you had so many problems.
Curt: Glad the rather branch limb of the tree didn't fall on your truck and that you and your son were able to cut it off and cut it up. Sounds like a close call.
Glad you caught the, little coal pickers, otherwise fairly soon they'd pick your coal company clean.
As for my problem, I'm not sure if it's a compatibility issue between the MRC transformer and the older Crest Radio hand throttle? I have the variable power turned up almost full like I did with the old Troller transformer but the power just doesn't seem to be there but the loco does run at prototypical slow speed and will maintain it briefly but I still have to keep pressing the power button most of the time.

Afternoon All,
We had a storm cell last night go through and afterwards I noticed a large tree branch was partially broken (still attached) which is good because it would of landed on my truck. So this morning my son and I cut it down and cut it up. The air is like a sauna today. I put the signs on the layout a little bit ago. The picture is of 1 of 4 in the area to keep out the plastic people coal thieves!
CA Dave- Good luck. Fingers crossed. Maybe the button connection is bad?
I hope everybody has a good night.
