It might get worse Toad.  I'm thinking of featherbedding the HP & RC RR with more workers.  I'm looking into building a shelf under the car for an un needed person on the payroll to lay on next to the toggle switch on the bottom of the car.  The one that stays in the on position 24/7 and will never be thrown.

I was under the impreshion that safty guy's wore green.

Interesting!  The cheeseburger and burger belly might just be a ruse.  It could be he's an undercover safety guy trying to shut my railroad down.  I'll have to kick him off the crew and put one of my hookers in there in his place.  Let me go get my pliers and glue...............

Not quite a safe job for the guy on the ledge as he stays on there when the train is running, but the HP & RC RR is so far out in the desert that the safety people never make it out there.

This is a followup to my problem with the power and light car.  I heard from customer support and what they told me is the battery comes with the unit.  I took Michael's lead and ripped out the battery (it was glued in ).  I installed two toggle switches on the side of the car, one for the sound and one for the flickering light which had a loose bulb and now works.  Leaving the toggle switch on the bottom of the car in the on posistion I now have the option of running with sound and light, only sound and only light and nothing at all.  Found the toggle switches in my electrical junk drawer along with a couple of small wire nuts and short lengths of wire to do the job.

Kind of gave it a funny look though with those two switches coming out of the side of the car so I added a ledge for a full time crew member of the car to stand on while taking instructions from the crew chief in the car as to what switch to throw.  You'll see the crew chief giving the guy on the ledge hand signals in the pictures.
