CTT's Question and Answer of the Week

[Jumijo]

I just came across this feature on CTT's home page. What a great idea! A new question answered each week? I love it! Nice going CTT!

What's this week's question?

[Jumijo]

This week, a question about a troublesome ZW transformer. Diagnosis - moisture.

As a newcomer just embarking on my first layout, I not only look forward to a new question answered each week, I'll probably pose my fair share of them as well.

Jim,

Agree, sounds like a swell idea. My guess is that the majority of questions will be about electronics. This is the most problematic area for most, myself included.

Jim [a suggestion], why don't you post the link and the subject to this posting each week. Then keep this one going like we do the Coffee Pot. I had never noticed it was there. Good job. [tup]

Having this on the forum would be neat. I rely on the CTT email newsletter to see what's new on the CTT home page - I always look at the videos and online 'extras'

[Jumijo]

I've never seen it mentioned in the email newsletter. I just happened upon it looking for the Lionel/K-Line article.

I will keep this updated each week, or perhaps a new thread w/ same heading each week but with different date in the title? Please let me know which you prefer. One continuous thread like the coffee shop or new ones each week.

I suggest a new topic each week - a thread like the coffeepot gets way too cumbersome to effectively search for answers to past questions.

I'm afraid I'm underwhelmed: Mr. Hoffer noticed that his ZW was hot and wet inside. The diagnosis is that water got into it.

[FJ and G]

How did water get inside? Humidity, spilt coffee or vodka?

Pretty interesting.

Morale to story: Don't leave your ZW outside if forcaste calls for showers. :-)

As hot-n-sticky as it has been it was probably sweat that dripped down. [(-D]
